But what if they identify as quadriplegic? You need to affirm their beliefs and give them all the funding they need.

But seriously, as someone who is sick to death of people saying they're on the spectrum/neurodiverse when it's perfectly clear that they're not (at least to those who actually have the disability or know enough about how it presents itself), it should be a criminal offence to fake being disabled or ill, especially when people rarely acknowledge how difficult it is to live with an invisible illness or disability (if the person doesn't want to disclose to every person they meet).

Meet (or, rather, AVOID AT ALL COSTS) Clive "Chloe" Jennings-White, a married-dad-"transwoman" who indeed does! (Well, paraplegic, anyway.)

For bonus points, what do you think that this ostensibly wheelchair-bound "paraplegic"'s fave hobby is?

Well, this planet doesn't deserve you!

Though, not to sound selfish, but... as long as I'm stuck on this ball o'stupid, I'm glad that you're here :)

Hopefully you'll find one that's worthy of you.

Thanks :) here's hoping things get better so that we don't have to look to the stars for some hope of normalcy.
