What Myotonia Teaches Humanity About Hiding Diversity

This is the blog I have written all previous blogs to lead up to. I really hope one day the world can look at the positive things that disability contributes to the world. This is my first idea of a positive contribution MC makes to the world.

I was thinking of how are muscles would be good in zero g's. Our bodies would have unique data to share with researchers. I would think that having our condition would result in less bone mass loss in zero g environments.
With space travel about to explode in the next 2 decades, maybe we will come in handy being space stewards, test subjects and more oriented careers in zero g.
Maybe we will be sought out ?

Because our muscles are always working out correct? So is there a way to artificially create what happens to our muscles in someone who doesn't have MC?
