'Transabled' — When Able-Bodied People Desire to Become Disabled

Transgender community resists, says not legitimate

Canada's National Post is reporting on an interesting study involving people that classify as "transabled" -- those that "feel like impostors in their fully working bodies."

"Transability" is defined by experts 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. The person could want to become deaf, blind, amputee, paraplegic. It’s a really, really strong desire."

It is stated that this desire is very similar to how a transgender person expresses their feelings of being in the wrong body.

One person featured in the story goes by the moniker One Hand Jason. He explained in an interview with ModBlog that he has always considered having a right hand as a birth defect. At various times in his life, Jason tried crushing and cutting his hand so that it would have to be amputated. Since that didn't work, he says he finally used "a very sharp power tool" and removed his own hand.
