This paper uses Carole Pateman´s intuitions in her book The Sexual Contract to criticize the way in which institutions whose rationality and legitimacy emerge from modern contractualism do not consider persons with disabilities on equal conditions. This is because the social contract presupposes univocal ideas of rationality and cooperation that are defined based on the parameters of persons without disabilities. Thus, the paradigm of capacitism that implies the identification of citizenship with the possession of regular capacities, generates a functional contract that invisibilizes and naturalizes discrimination based on disability
