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!
