I kinda dislike the line of thinking that Remus being a werewolf has to be either woe be him and he hates every aspect of it, OR it's actually really cool to be a werewolf and he is out and proud, like ....

Both are valid takes ofc, but like something sucking AND being out and proud about it does not like .. exclude each other?

In disability theory Gill (1998) talks about the stages of disability identity integration. An important stage (the third for anyone interested) is called "coming together", and references the internal integration of the disabled and non disabled parts of your identity. Growing up in an ableist society, we are taught that we are good in spite of our disability, and we are split down the middle into good and acceptable parts of our self and bad and harmful parts. When we "come together" internally, it is a liberation and a rebellion against a society telling us that we should hate the disabled parts of ourself.

The final and fourth stage is "coming out" and includes living proudly and openly as a disabled person.

I very much do read lycanthropy as a disability, and in that light, as a disabled person, I object to the idea that being a werewolf has to be awesome for Remus to embrace that part of himself.

Ofc there can be cool things about being a werewolf, but they don't have to outweigh the bad things in order for Remus to face his internalized ableism and embrace himself as a werewolf.
