quote:

When he cut off his right arm with a “very sharp power tool,” a man who now calls himself One Hand Jason let everyone believe it was an accident.

But he had for months tried different means of cutting and crushing the limb that never quite felt like his own, training himself on first aid so he wouldn’t bleed to death, even practicing on animal parts sourced from a butcher.
People like Jason have been classified as ‘‘transabled’’ — feeling like imposters in their bodies, their arms and legs in full working order.

“We define transability as the desire or the need for a person identified as able-bodied by other people to transform his or her body to obtain a physical impairment,” says Alexandre Baril, a Quebec born academic who will present on “transability” at this week’s Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Ottawa.

quote:


Chloe Jennings-White adjusting her leg braces at her home on May 16, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Chloe-Jennings White wears leg braces and uses a wheelchair, even though her legs work fine, and she does not need them.

I don't know. Sound legit to me. Who am I to judge?

arms are useful.

dicks are often useless or unused (you can see one if you look in the mirror).

It's actually a neurological disorder. Whether or not all people who claim to have BIID actually have this series of misfiring synapses is not clear, but many definitely do.

i thought this was going to be about people who lost legs/arms in war/accidents and then got working prosthetics and was going to be a :smith: article about them feeling like impostors

but instead it turned out to be the other way around so it became hilarious
