週三，英國物理學家 Stephen Hawking（史蒂芬·霍金）於劍橋郡家中安詳辭世，享年 76 歲。那一天是世界圓周率日，亦是科學家 Einstein（愛因斯坦）的誕辰。多年來，Hawking 致力解開宇宙奧秘，不斷地帶給人類許多啟發，解開未知的科學謎團。儘管他已經前往另一個空間，他的精神將永遠留下。
“Rest in peace Dr. Hawking.”
正當外界開始向 Hawking 表示悼念之際，忙於《Wonder Woman 2》前置開拍作業的 Gal Gadot，也於社群網站傳遞對這位物理學家的思念。早前，Gadot 上傳一張 Hawking 的照片，寫下她的看法。然而，Gadot 的推文意外讓不少網友感到不恰當，迎來負面的指責和評論。
Gal Gadot 寫下：「安息，霍金博士。現在你沒有任何身體上的限制。你的才華和智慧將永遠珍藏。」，她的一句「沒有任何身體上的限制」，讓網友們紛紛提出質疑，認為：「Gadot 是在傳遞對殘疾人士的貶低或是歧視嗎？」
“This tweet is very ableist.”
儘管 Hawking 早年被診斷出患有肌肉萎縮（又稱葛雷克氏症），須藉助電腦語音合成器才能和外界溝通，但他並沒有因此放棄自己、向命運低頭，帶著幽默又頑強的毅力和決心對抗病魔，持續深入研究。他許多重大的研究和成就都是在病後完成，向世人展現堅忍不拔的生命力和意志力。
I think you’re fantastic Gal but this tweet is very ableist. His physical constraints didn’t stop him from changing the world. People with disabilities don’t wish for death to be free of their challenges. We wish to be valued for what we CAN do, not pitied for we can’t.

對此，網友 ABZimm 決定回應 Gal Gadot 的推文，表達個人見解 ：「Gal，我一直覺得你很棒，但是這則推文真的非常健全主義者（Ableist，歧視身心障礙者的人）。他的身體侷限並沒有阻止他改變世界。殘疾人不希望透過死亡擺脫他們的挑戰。我們希望被看到的是我們能做的，而不是同情我們不能做的。」
Yes!!!! Thank you. Stop making death seem like a positive alternative to being disabled!! It’s that attitude more than anything that makes disabled ppl’s lives difficult.

ABZimm 的論點，獲得其他網友的支持：「沒錯！謝謝你。不要讓死亡看起來像是殘疾人一種積極的選擇！就是這種態度（死亡是解脫）只會讓殘疾人士的生活更加困難。」，或許 Gal Gadot 的本意並非要出於歧視身心障礙者，而是悼念 Hawking，卻讓不少人感到不認同，持續在社群網站上掀起熱烈討論。
Ms. Gadot, he will always be remembered for his brilliance and humor despite his physical condition. I must disagree however, with a mind like his, he had no physical constants. He took trips through space, time and dimensions that we could not even imagine. May he Rest In Peace.

Gal I am chronically ill. Can't shower or even get myself out of bed. Lost 18 years thus far. But I ran a charity funding research for my illness #ME and advocate for Change. All from my bed. Is my life not important? Disablement is not shameful, bigotry is. Watch @unrestfilm pls

So what we're NOT gonna do is talk about Stephen Hawking's disability like it was a tragedy. Because it wasn't. Disabilities are not tragedies. Abled people can go away. https://t.co/e1PB6TB79F
