'I want prosthetics to be accepted like glasses' Self-described bionic pop artist joins Katy Perry on stage to celebrate diversity

How would you visualise disability? Chances are, Viktoria Modesta wants you to imagine something different.

"If we start to challenge what it means to be normal, the concept of disability is challenged also," she says. British-Latvian Viktoria was injured at birth and chose to have her leg amputated in 2007 when she was 20 years old. "I never really identified as a person as disabled," she says, instead choosing to describe herself as bionic - a hybrid of biological and artificial materials.Viktoria says her prosthetic has given her chances to explore new opportunities through emerging technologies."Going into zero gravity, you don't really need to be fully 'intact'," she says.

I'm always discriminating against prosthetic users, my father did and so did my grandfather, it's my right. Wobbling about all over the place with their pretend limbs. They are taking our jobs and women...................😒

I think more importantly is that companies make prosthetics good and cheap like glasses are generally. You can get some really nice glass that are very affordable. You can’t say the same for prosthetics. That will help with acceptance. You might even get some envy!

In Danish ‘strictly’, became second:

They are.

When you have it so good you create problems that aren’t even there comes to mind
