This feels really ableist

OP here. I understand where you're coming from, but unfortunately in practical reality, as someone who is both physically disabled and has been diagnosed with clinical depression, I have learned harsh reality sometimes makes perfect equity impractical. I recognize there are some things *I either shouldn't or could't do.* Among the things I have to accept as a disabled person are that I can't free-climb a mountain and that I shouldn't ever be in command of a vessel that routinely encounters high-risk situations that require physical and emotional fitness for successful negotiation. Could I captain a vessel that does low-risk backwater milk runs or low-danger research missions, etc.? Probably. But if the captain of a flagship enmeshed in constant hostile conditions is not able to take effective action for either emotional or physical reasons, that captain's crew would soon suffer unreasonable harm as a result, and in the highly dangerous situations Star Trek involves, the whole crew (and captain too) would soon be dead. Therefore, I must maintain that writing a flagship captain whom the fleet allows to face never-ending front-line, dangerous encounters with hostile forces and crisis conditions/situations over the long term, while the captain remains incapable of action and languishes with his lovers covering for him, would be out of character for everyone involved. That situation would be unrealistic even if it wasn't Starfleet and Jim Kirk.

I meant more the labeling of certain things as "teen girl" conditions.

I confess that was a bit sexist/stereotypical. My apologies
