Transabled

freshpopcorn

I saw this article there a while ago. If you Google it you get similar things up.
It basically people who belong they were born in the worn limbs and have them amputated.(Mainly illegally)
So , What do Boards think.of this?
Would you support a family member if they wanted to have it done,
Personally I'd have my concerns about this.
We always hearing let people do what they want with there own bodies/etc but I'd find it hard to go along with this. Well I wouldn't pay for it but I wouldn't really get involved.

Absolutely not. It's a mental illness.

Alien limb syndrome is the common name.

I remembering watching a doc on it years ago.

I’m fluidabled.

Problems arise because a doctor would not have the legal right to carry out an amputation on a healthy limb.

What happens then is that they do it themselves. I remember one man on the doc literally sawed his own arm off.

Enablement is not advised in ALS. Instead it's treated through intense therapy and medication.

There are broken, malfunctioning people everywhere. Always have been.

The difference now is that they can connect with each other, protected by secrecy via the Internet, and encourage/stimulate/glorify very strange and dangerous ideas.

It's not impossible that right now, or later, this very thread has sparked an idea in some vulnerable person.

The Internet is so useful and valuable, what with the psychos and cat videos and all. Where would we be without it?

Another bunch of fcuking idiots inventing a label.

Youre not "transabled", youre a fcuking attention seeking asshat.

Stop cutting your fcuking legs off ye fcuking flutes!

beejee

In extension to the above, I was reading a magazine where it put forward the idea of "digital disease", where the Internet in general can be thought of as a vector for spreading disease (of intangible, damaging thought)

It may become a popular phrase in the near future.

No they're genuinely ill. This is a recognised disorder.

It's been documented for centuries.

As someone whose body has already betrayed them (MS) I can't even fake being ok with this.

They have no idea how it feels. They're romanticizing it and wouldn't cope for one day with actual disability.

TheValeyard

What these people are doing is a slap on the face to anyone who was born disabled or lost a limb during their life.

AbusesToilets

It's an area that is pretty interesting. I'd imagine study of it can be a sensitive topic, given the likely similarities, mentally speaking, that would cause someone to feel transabled, versus someone to feel transexual. Body dysphoria and the like.

DEFTLEFTHAND

They're not thinking about it rationally.

It's a mental illness which has to be treated not scoffed at.

It would be like giving out to somebody for being depressed or suicidal.

We must spread awareness of it, make sure everyone knows about, include it in sitcoms, have it debated on television, introduce it to school curricula, form campaign groups, attract funding and disperse the taboos of this mental illness so as none are excluded from society.

That will lead to treatment, surely

I saw a thing about this years ago before the internet was popular and before the current online outrage over people labelling themselves X, Y or Z. It wasn't some attention seeking internet thing and was taken seriously.
Slapping a new label on it doesn't make it something new dreamt up by someone on Tumblr.

Absolutely is a thing, sites become hubs for people who reinforce whatever disordered thinking they share and it becomes normalized. Look at those 'pro-ana' sites* or the INCEL stuff and see how far you can go down the rabbit hole of crazy thinking when you get validation and support. Or religious radicalization, or whatever your favorite flavor of crazy is.


*pro anorexia

It's one way to get a parking permit I suppose!

Yeah, finding a community of like-minded individuals is not always a good thing. A bit like groups of addicts holding people back from breaking their addiction, separating them from the group can be necessary.

I remember reading about one transabled person who pretends to be a paraplegic and even got a disabled badge for her car. On the days she isnt doing that she enjoys mountain climbing and skiing. The gall of her, treating a serious disability as a hobby.

I reckon there's a difference between someone just pretending, to get attention or for some tangible gain, and someone who feels a need to lose a limb or whatever. Anything I've seen about the latter seems to compare it to anorexia.

Best post I've read in ages. Dunno why I find it so funny but I nearly fell of my chair laughing at it. :D

Stop the world and let me off !!!

What a shower of absolute head the balls.

If they want amputation,fine by me,but it should start at the shoulders.

Snip snip.

It's bad when you're not sure if the article is Waterford Whispers or something real.

They're not romanticising anything, they're mentally ill.

Freshpopcorn as usual didn't do a very good job of framing his opening post. These aren't people who think it'd be a bit cool or trendy to be disabled, they're suffering from severe psychoses to the point where many of them will try to remove the "offending" limb themselves because they feel so strongly that it's not theirs.

But hey, it's AH, so rabble rabble, outrage, lefty snowflake something-or-other, etc.

Yes, because I said so.

It's a recognised and diagnosed condition with plenty of literature behind it.

At the risk of falling afoul of the AH rule on not being a grammar Nazi, your post had some issues, in fairness. You also made it sound like this is something people consider in the same way they would getting a tattoo, or a nose job, or breast implants and it's really, really not.

You arrive in and make sweeping statements about the quality of posts/posters in AH....

Then begin to whimper when you're given a taste of it.

Get over yourself.

I kept it short and to the point.
I started I saw an article and asked what others thought and provided a link.
I started I didn't really support it and asked others there opinion.
I don't believe in going over the top. I didn't make light of the matter.

But they have the right to do it to a healthy dick?

I'm not buying it. The lady that wants to be in a wheelchair, skis really fast, hoping to be in an accident. If that was actually the case, then at this stage, she would have had that accident

It's like when Michael O'Leary bought a taxi plate so he could use the bus lanes. He's not working class and these lads aren't disabled.

I've been in two write off's in terms of car crashes. This may sound weird however they were very exciting. I walked away from both and no one else was hurt and they were accidents but damn the adrenaline dump!

The transabled community is becoming more and more prominent day by day and even though they are small in number, as of now, transabled people are making news for coming off as rude and insulting to the ones who are actually born with a life-long disability. Jewel Shuping, a 30-year-old woman from North Carolina, purposely blinded herself with a help of a doctor by pouring drain cleaner in her eyes.

As someone with a blind sister, knowing the horrors and trauma she has/had of being aware she was missing out on so much that she will never in her whole life get to enjoy, this frankly disgusts me somewhat. Yeah it's her body, her choice and all that... but jesus this is frustrating, upsetting, and frankly something I really, really, really hope my own sister never has to hear about people doing.

transabled people want to surgically remove a healthy limb in order to feel in themselves


a trangender m to f person may want to surgically invert a healthy penis to give it the appearance of a vagina

both are under the care of a psychiatrist.

there is some overlap, no?

the only overlap is that both may be under the care of a psychiatrist/psychologist. that is where the overlap stops.
