OK, I consider myself to be a fairly open-minded, non-judgemental person. However, this transabled business is absolutely sick. No one in his right mind would purposely welcome the suffering that we onthis list must endure. It nearly made me nauseous to read the web site below. Unbelievable.

We've had this discussion on here before but it's pointless.
These people really get under my skin but hey what can you do?

They also have websites and I've read some of their post before just to see

help.
It seems they're so unaccomplished in their own lives and think that people
look up to them like they're really being heroic after a terrible accident
or something.
Then there are the wierd ones that really want to be paralyzed and ask
questions like which is the best and safest way to break your back!
These people could never handle actually being paralyzed in my opinion.

Subject: [QUAD-L] speaking of fakes

Hey everyone,


I've been aware of the phenomenon of "wheelchair pretenders" for quite some
time and haven't seen much discussion about it here on the quad list.  At
times, I wonder if everyone here is for real, but have usually let it go.
What do others think and feel about these people who "need" to be in a
chair or pretend to be amputees.  This site http://www.transabled

who is born female but their mind their emotions and everything else are
programmed to be female - transgendered.  I definitely feel there are some
folks that fit the transgendered category, you can't help but admit some

to me that's a "mental illness" that can be dealt with by lots of therapy.
In my opinion, these are people who are seeking attention and sympathy, and

 They make me wanna scream "go jump off a cliff or dive in the shallow end

it.


There's even a story of a woman who wanted to have her legs amputated for

her to Iraq.


Lets discuss this interesting topic.


Peace,


River

what they were talking about and it seems pity plays a big part because they like to talk about shopping and people trying to help them and them refusing org/mos/Frontpage/:states that it is a psychological need much like a person boys were meant to be girls and vice versa. BUT I definitelly don't believe some folks are born able-bodied and they are really supposed to be disabled, or they get some sort of sexual satisfaction from pretending to be disabled. of a pool and stop pretending, see how you like it then" I simply don't get the hell of it, just to live life as an amputee. Hell, I say lets just send
