Oh, don't get that thought accepted, I can see poor people being used for their body parts now to let the wealthy have a "better life" off their suffering.
This put a weird vision in my head........ What are some people becoming.......
Gender identification isn't remotely the same as wanting to be disabled. Sex-reassignment surgery isn't remotely analogous to disabling oneself of one's sight.
You might want to work on your concept of basic logic.
Exactly. Comparing the two is completely illogical. Anyway, I have heard about this mental illness, and it is extremely rare. It most commonly takes the form of the person wanting his/her limb amputated, especially a leg. The person is obsessed with becoming an amputee. It's very strange, but after so many years of wanting the healthy limb amputated, a plastic surgeon can remove the limb, the person uses crutches for mobility, and he/she feels normal and happy again.
Hey...If she's happy being blind and bumping into stuff, good for her! Just dont go looking for any govt funded programs for the blind since this was a choice!
I am blind in one eye and have impaired vision in the other. I would give anything to experience stereo vision, let alone 20/20 stereo vision.
Hopefully in future decades eye transplants will be possible and she can contribute her eye to someone who would really appreciate it.
I've needed glasses since I was in first grade; even after Lasik I am not correctable to 20/20. I'm with you...I'd give almost anything for healthy eyes and clear, sharp vision in both eyes. My astigmatism is so bad in my right eye that I still have blurry spots even wearing contacts and glasses.
Deciding to be blind, I hope there is no disability payment for the blindness. A disability payment for a psychologist to treat the mental disease, that is fine. Payments to cover her being unable to work as effectively, hell no.
Doubt this was her motivation. Seems she took the special snowflake thing a tad further than most.
Self- induced disability should be disqualified from disability benefits.
Same goes for the " My 600 Pound Life" folk.
GOD YES. Collecting "benefits" (that term for handouts bothers me) for self induced problems is justifiable how?
I'll never comprehend it.
Same for prisoners who get sex-reassignment meds while in prison. What the hell? HOW is that OK?
This woman is a sick scum-bag. And, it's also sick that people's taxes will have to pay for this self-induced disability.
I myself wear glasses and have needed them for years. I would love to have 20-20 eye-sight, but don't. So, I have 0 sympathy for someone who intentionally makes themselves disabled like this.
I didn't read the article but the headline makes me wonder what is up with the psychologist that did it.
I know I must be a hateful bigot but in my opinion almost all cases of "transgenderism sex reassignment" are the result of some sort of mental problems.
It's a popularity contest. Prior the 1974 the American Psychiatric Association considered homosexuality a disorder. Is Transgenderism a disorder, White people who think their Black, or in this case a sighted woman who thinks she is blind? Apparently if the APA and other organizations say they are, they are
I'm fine with any of it, as long as it doesn't affect me personally or financially. She can be blind all she wants.
