seguridad sobre [el hecho de] estar ciega


Explanation:
Si sigo la interpretación de Mónica, daría estas otras opciones:

She has confidence about being blind.
Ella es consciente de ser ciega.
Ella tiene la certeza de estar ciega.
Ella se sabe ciega.
Ha asumido su ceguera

Pero viéndolo en el contexto, las otras respuestas tampoco me parecen tan desencaminadas.

Team discussed xxx’s “I don’t know” -as an avoidance, worry about being wrong, a combination of things- build confidence is critical. She has confidence about being blind.

El equipo habló de que el “no sé” de XXX -como una evasión, preocupación por estar equivocada, una combinación de cosas [de elementos]- que aumenta la seguridad [en sí misma] es de la mayor importancia. Ella tiene la seguridad del hecho de estar ciega.

De lo que sí está segura es de estar ciega.
El hecho de que ser ciega, eso lo sabe con seguridad.
De estar ciega, de eso está segura.

En cualquier caso, tendrás que juzgarlo en el contexto, y ver lo que cuadra mejor. (Por cierto, ¿es una ciega o un ciego?)

confidence: 2 : feeling or consciousness of reliance on oneself or one's circumstances : SELF-CONFIDENCE *a doctor's increasing confidence and skill* *painters who had lost their confidence*
3 : the state of feeling sure : CERTITUDE usually used with of *great confidence of success* *the level of confidence accepted for a given set of statistical data*

At any rate, I hope nobody feels their confidence shattered...

Lo que quise decir con mis sugerencias es que "ella se siente segura a pesar de ser ciega". Debe tomarse en cuenta que "segura" ya está en su versión femenina y, por lo tanto, no es obrigatorio el uso del pronombre personal "ella".

Example sentence(s):
  • se siente segura aunque sea ciega
