"I promise you, El, that the disformed want nothing more than to be judged on who they are as individuals, rather than this single lack in their lives. If the people only knew how valuable they were… They'd never call any of us incapable again."
That morning at the elders meeting wasn't the first time he'd heard the idea spouted that the disformed were incapable based on their inability to shift, and should therefore be protected from everyone. Including themselves. A truly incapable Anima—a child, or someone with some kind of mental or emotional deficiency that meant they didn't understand how their choices could affect them—was protected by the entire tribe. Provided for. And if they challenged an Alpha, or did anything else that brought their own life or safety in danger, they were not indulged.
The incapable were protected, even from themselves.
