‘Transabled': A New Group Emerges

QuoteWhen many of us thought we had seen and heard it all, now comes an emerging group of individuals known as the ‘transabled.’ They are physically healthy people who desire to be disabled in some way. Each person possessing this very strong urge to be incapacitated or mutilated in a particular manner has a different vision for their future.

Some of these folks want to be paralyzed, others want to be blind.  There are people who now seek to have a perfectly healthy limb surgically removed. Some desire to have their leg or arm amputated, others just a foot or hand. There are additional types of disabling and self-mutilation which are too unspeakable to mention in this article.  The common denominator among them all is that they ardently seek to become ‘transabled’.

It’s clear that each person who harbors such strong desires is suffering from various psychological problems and/or emotional imbalances. There often seems to be haunting memories from childhood which have fueled this highly abnormal desire to be disabled or mutilated.

As far as I know this "group" is only known on Tumblr. Tumblr sjws are like a real life parody of liberals, like Freepers are to conservatives.
Some people need to be beaten with a smart stick.

It's not something new. May be as a group it could be new. There is a name for those people who desires to get amputated when healthy for example. It's some sort of a syndrome, I am too lazy to look up.

I've heard about guys doing this people making themselves disabled on purpose.

Fuck them, I mean ok maybe they have a mental health issue in wanting this, but its a fucking insult against all the people in the world who became disabled by accident or something that caused them to be, who would want to live a normal, pain free life without their disability.

Fuck these assholes who want to be this way purposely.

It is a mental disorder and is listed in the DSM-IV-TR as "Deliberate Self Harm" (I think). I first read about it decades ago, but not under that name.

That sounds like a positive direction for these people to be channeling their energy.

maybe I jumped the gun a little, if it is a real mental disorder then it needed to be looked into, so they don't harm themselves.

Does S&M and getting tattoos fit into this?  :undecided:
