Heard about this on the radio today. It's so messed up. What has happened to people to make them think this is ok?

This is not a social issue, this is a few wackos and should not be used to detract from the Trans/abled movements.

I literally just read the article before coming here to post it. I can't even believe this really happens. It's basically just people injuring themselves because they want to be treated differently. Can we just start handing out Darwin awards out to people who purposefully remove body parts? I mean I could understand if the replacement limb makes them more able(in a sense), but our technology isn't that far quite yet to just start making limbs for people who may not have needed it ever.

Maybe this just bothered me more than it should.

“The person could want to become deaf, blind, amputee, paraplegic. It’s a really, really strong desire.” I can't wrap my mind around this. What would poses someone to want to become physically disabled other than for attention purposes.

Well I'd like to gouge my eyes out after reading that article. So there's that.

"Some of his study participants do draw parallels to the experience many transgender people express of not feeling like they’re in the right body. Baldwin says this disorder is starting to be thought of as a neurological problem with the body’s mapping, rather than a mental illness."

"He suggests this is just another form of body diversity — like transgenderism — and amputation may help someone achieve similar goals as someone who, say, undergoes cosmetic surgery to look more like who they believe their ideal selves to be."

"As the public begins to embrace people who identify as transgender, the trans people within the disability movement are also seeking their due"

Just saying the article continuously tried to draw parallels between the two.

I can understand rocking a wheelchair to try and gain that perspective and life experience, but this shit is just dumb.

This shit just pisses me off

Honestly, the more I hear about people trying to "become who they really are inside", the more I hate society for allowing this to happen. It's such absolute bullshit.

This transabled shit, the people who think they are fuckin animals, it's such shit. They just have this fantasy where they are some special little fox or some poor helpless paraplegic, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND GET TO REALITY. Not everyone has to be special and different. And some are trying to live out their sexual fantasy, which is so fucked. There are people who have fetishes for being disabled and being animals and stuff. These dick fuckers are just trying harder than others to satisfy their fetish. Even some transgender people get hard off of being the opposite gender. Weird fetishes out there.

Granted, real transgender people are alright in my book, since there are people who seriously feel misplaced, and I can understand that. But all these cock heads who think doing some of this shit is acceptable is just wrong

fuck sake guys it's a legit mental condition, in the same way people self harm when depressed. It's not like they're like, "oh I'm bored time to chop my arm off", it's chemical imbalance that's fucking them over. You wouldn't tell a depressed people to just cheer up would you? This is just another form of self harm and should be considered in the same way

But it doesn't mean that you should support it, either. I think you can oppose it but be respectful.

As for them demanding accommodations for being disabled...well, we should have a lot of those already. We need more of that universal design anyway.

Veteran fights for country, watches his friends die,also parapelegic, returns home and sees fellow parapalegic. "What happened to you?" "Oh I felt like I wasn't in my right body so I took it all off".

I don't think we are the dicks. In no way should they be accepted.

I identify as a criminal, so I should be able to become transcriminal and switch from my life of entitlement and go shoot up a gas station because I don't feel right being a good person.

Accept Me! Dont Opress Me!

This is ticking bullshit and should be treated as such.

I have had a day to think about the information and talked to a bunch of different people and I have basically came to the same conclusion. I understand it's a Neurological disorder, and it's basically like someone suffering from Alien hand syndrome, but without the hand moving on it's own. I can see how it might effect a persons natural thought process. I do feel like it's something we should do more research into to find out the root cause. That way we can figure out how to treat people suffering from the disorder before they act on anything.

I don't fully understand the disorder, but I am trying to understand it. No sense in making people feel bad about something that isn't in their power to change.
