Things missing doesn't really affect my view of the person at all. I grew up knowing plenty of people that were somewhat different. My cousin's friend had a short arm and only a few fingers on it, My family worked in the logging and sawmilling business so I met a lot of people early on missing thumbs and shit because they wacked it off with a chainsaw or something. My uncle had some muscle disease which I can't even pronounce that made his bones twisted and he was in a wheelchair. He died while I was REALLY young but I saw lots of pictures and grew accustomed to it. I've known people with large port wine stains on their faces and I've known many people in wheelchairs for various reasons. I won't say I don't even notice something because a peg leg stick and an eye patch stick out like 38DD boobs and lord knows I'd glance at those a few times.
