If this isn't a mental disorder, I don't know what is. Has anyone heard of this? Basically, a person who is trans-abled identifies with being disabled even though they are not. Even to the point of cutting off their limbs...by themselves in some cases! I guess the cynic in me wants to know if these people who mutilate themselves and become disabled get to go on disability and suck more of our tax dollars? For members of the trans-abled community who aren't quite this dedicated they still ask that people treat them as disabled. Sorry, if you aren't disabled you aren't going to get treated as such. Not surprisingly, members of the trans-abled community align a lot of their thinking with the trans-gender community...
"Rather than seeing trans-ableism as a unique condition, a number of those active within the trans-abled movement are keen to draw parallels between being trans-abled and transgendered. The two conditions can often coexist, and an article on Transabled.org explicitly draws similarities between the two conditions and argues they should be treated the same way by society. This means that trans-abled people should be accepted as if they really were disabled, and they should also be supported to have medical intervention which will create their preferred real disability."
I'm really at a loss for words anymore about where our society is heading. For your reading pleasure... https://liberationcollective.wordpre...er-disability/
