Ugly Big Ableism (Ableism in "PLL")

I haven’t watched the entire of Pretty Little Liars in a while, but I remember this ableism pretty clearly.

In the show there is a character named Jenna (played by Tammin Sursok).

Jenna is blind (I believe she sees pitch black and doesn’t see anything else) - until she gets surgery which fixes her eyesight. Though, after the surgery, Jenna pretends to still be blind because people underestimate her as a blind woman.

For Halloween 2023 (during the SAG strike), Tammin dressed up as Jenna - complete with sunglasses and a white cane.

This all means Tammin, a sighted (not blind) actress, played and dressed up as a blind character.

This is not okay. Disabled characters should be played by disabled people not nondisabled people. A sighted person should not play a blind character.

Disability is not a costume or a hat someone can wear. Disability is not a random skill someone can learn for a role. It’s a real thing you can only maybe fully understand if you are and/or become disabled.
