There is now a growing trend being observed around the world where some individuals are pretending to have a disability or debilitating injury, or actual receive surgery to purposefully make themself disabled. It’s being called “transabled.”
In late-January of this year Evolution News and Science Today (EN) reported on this new rise in “transableism,” calling this a mental disorder and a form of body dysphoria. However EN says that this trend should not come as a surprise to anyone, because if transgenderism and going through the necessary surgeries have become normalized, then the next [il]logical step would be for people to surgical debilitate themselves.
Wesley J. Smith, a Chair and Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism, and contributor for the National Review, wrote in his article:
Some people may think that transgenderism is the end of the road for radical individual “re-creationism” (a piquant term coined by the great Leon Kass). Don’t bet on it. Once surgically altering people who feel they are the different sex than they were when born becomes normalized, we will soon be ready for the next abyss. What is that? “Transableism.”
Transableism is a relatively new term for what is known as BIID, for “body integrity identity disorder.” The point of changing the identifier from a psychiatric condition (BIID) to an advocacy term (transableism) is to harness the stunning cultural power of gender ideology to the cause of allowing doctors to “treat” BIID patients by amputating healthy limbs, snipping spinal cords, or destroying eyesight.
There have already been cases of rogue doctors disabling BIID patients and bioethicists advocating such actions. But now, the idea is beginning to break into the popular media. Canada’s National Post just published a story on the coming trend. From “Becoming Disabled by Choice, Not Chance:”
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. The person could want to become deaf, blind, amputee, paraplegic. It’s a really, really strong desire.
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.
As Smith pointed out, since transgenderism has been embraced then things like getting a surgery to become disabled is next in line. First Post wrote: ‘As the public begins to embrace people who identify as transgender, the trans people within the disability movement are also seeking their due, or at very least a bit of understanding in a public that cannot fathom why anyone would want to be anything other than healthy and mobile.’
Transgender activists however are not happy about this and are looking to fight back against this, according to First Post, because they claim it undermines all the efforts the transgender community has worked so hard to accomplish, as the transgenders have worked tirelessly to destigmatize the idea that they have a mental disorder.
But Smith does not buy it nor the separation between the two:
Sorry, I don’t see the difference in principle. If reality can be defined by one’s subjective inner state instead of objective biological reality, why permit one “transition” and not the other? Indeed, the only distinction I perceive between the two is that gender ideology is backed by the LGBT political juggernaut and “transableism” is not.
But give it time. Once transgenderism becomes just another lifestyle, transableism won’t be far behind.
Just recently a case of this occurred with a 24-year-old man in North Carolina. In statement to Fox News he called this a “cry for attention.”
It’s offensive to people who actually suffer from the condition that you say you need, in order to be your true self.
It’s embarrassing, and I don’t know if you can be considered a serious human being if you alter your body like this, instead of getting the appropriate mental help you need.
Fox News went on to cite some other recent examples of this in the United States and around the world, and how some other doctors are classifying this as and addressing it:
In one case of BIID, Jørund Viktoria Alme, 53, a senior credit analyst in Oslo, Norway, identifies as disabled and uses a wheelchair, even though she has no physical handicap.
Alme is also transgender, according to Heraldscotland.com. Alme said on the morning TV program “Good Morning Norway” in 2022 that it had been a “lifelong wish” to have been born “a woman paralyzed from the waist down,” the same source noted.
In an even more shocking case, a 21-year-old North Carolina woman who identified as blind actually took steps to destroy her own eyesight, according to multiple reports from a few years ago.
One Arizona internist called today’s transableism a “delusional disorder.”
In my opinion, both transgender and transabled persons suffer from a delusional disorder.
The Oath of Hippocrates adjures physicians to do no harm.
Mutilating the body is an objective harm even if makes the patient subjectively feel better.
The disability is lifelong and imposes burdens on others — and neither patients nor physicians can duck responsibility for that.
With transgenders the follow-up is generally very short — not sure about the [follow-up with] elective amputees.
The ‘no other way’ [to cope with the condition] excuse is a cop out; we need to find other ways. Denial of reality is anti-scientific.
Jane Orient, a general internist in Tucson, Arizona, and executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, told Fox News Digital via email.
Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical professor of medicine and a practicing internist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City — as well as a Fox News medical contributor — told Fox News Digital via email that most doctors will “only perform procedures they feel are medically indicated.”
Siegel referred to Munchausen syndrome, which is a “factitious disorder” in which a person “repeatedly and deliberately acts as if they have a physical or mental illness” when they are not really sick, according to WebMd.com.
Dr. Siegel continued,
We deal with Munchausen and Munchausen by proxy, where patients can be quite convincing about illnesses they don’t really have — and we need to be on the lookout for this.
Calling cosmetic plastic surgery procedures a “gray area,” Siegel noted that “as an internist who clears people for all kind of surgeries, I find myself in lengthy discussions with patients about whether they really need a face lift, tummy tuck, etc.”
He added about “transableism,” “I would never clear anyone for surgery to remove a limb that does not need removal.”
The North Carolina college student also said about today’s trend of transableism,
Today, I feel like people would [even] encourage mutilation for ‘transabled’ people, in order to be thought of as an ‘ally.’
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Give it a little more time and people will be getting lobotomies and drinking cups of fluoride to pretend they have down syndrome and autism!
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Titus 1:15
As these doctors and researchers have pointed out, this is the next step proceeding the normalization of transgenderism, body modifications, and plastic surgery. But this is not a brain illness that is genetic: this is the nature of sin and perversion getting worse.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:13
As I said in a recent report, sodomy and transgenderism have become the new emo and goth, becoming a new form of rebellion of attention seeking, as one of these individual’s admitted to.

But I think it goes beyond that. You also have some really scummy people who are so lazy they want to be disabled so they have an excuse not to work, get reparations, and have other people service them – like the good narcissists that they are.
[14] As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. [15] The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. Proverbs 26:14-15
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

That’s exactly what I was thinking: a lot of these transabled people are just lazy, worthless sluggards who think washing their hands is too laborious.
Any doctor that would agree to perform disability causing surgeries should lose their license and more!
America is ready for a strike from Russia.
Disgusting, I had health problems that caused me to have to stop working and had to jump through hoops to get my SSI at an early age of 49 and had a Gastric Sleave to loose weight and then had a Hernia surgery that was botched and have had many complications since, was septic once from these screw-ups. That being said you don’t know how much I would love to work again but can’t. I have to go to anywhere early in morning, so my feet and legs don’t swell up to much to put on my shoes, but I still trust the Lord in all and don’t cry about it. But to do that intentionally is, well, moronic
here we they go ….. opening the can of worms. lol
