How are these people not shamed out of this behavior ?

So first they’re a very very small minority, significantly smaller than the amount of actually dysphoric TW vs women, compared to... as a group people with disabilities actually make up a very large minority. I’m not sure on exact stats but it’s noticeably smaller.

Second, you’re bold to assume some people experience shame. (I wish sometimes it were the case- for many shame isn’t helpful when its over arbitrary things, but others lack it entirely, like whoever left diarrhea over the portapotties I saw recently.

What is weird though, is the number of people who are both trans and claim transabled or wanting to claim to be another race (not in the actual use like adoption of transracial). Transabled should refer to people who weren’t born disabled, but later became disabled... but unfortunately it refers to yet another obvious paraphilia for some and a dysmorphia for others.

people who weren't born disabled but become disabled are disabled the moment they become disabled...they aren't trans-anything. They are disabled b/c of an accident, injury, medical condition, many of them thru no fault of their own. Please don't lump them in with the LARPing fetishists who get off to the thought of themselves in a wheelchair or something like that.

As for shame, we need to bring it back, and not in the "omg, you offended meeeeee" way. More in the "you like to dress up as a unicorn and have sex with someone dressed up as a baby ? GTFO with that, you sick freak" kind of way.

Hi, I am disabled and became disabled after being born able bodied. Trust me I’m not lumping us in, I’m saying we should have had more of a claim to the term than the fetishists, but that’s not how that went- and thats only if the term ever could have been useful, I’m not sure that it could have but it would have been a hell of a lot less depressing use of the term than it is for the fetishists. More rambling than anything. Juxtaposing it to how transracial has also been hijacked by weirdos and fetishists, when originally it belonged to adoptees, which is obviously a more legitimate use of the term, but only on a linguistics basis. Anyway, not seriously seeing the use of the term, but it would have been a little nicer of a world haha!

Well, once you stop believing in reality I guess you can identifying as anything...
