A man in Norway, Jørund Viktoria Alme, is sparking backlash after being sympathetically profiled on the Norwegian TV show Good Morning Norway, for his "trans-disability" in addition to his identifying as female. He is able-bodied, but uses a wheelchair "almost all the time" because he identifies as a woman who is paralyzed.

I have attempted to verify the authenticity but everywhere I go seems to repeat the same story.

If true, should we affirm the gender identity but scorn the disabled identity.. and if so, on what grounds?

If we affirm both identities does this represent another evolution towards trans-humanism?

Or a complete step backward towards mysticism and witchcraft?

Or is it a brazen fraud and nothing more than a publicity stunt.. or a mental illness.. or both?
(Of course one would have said the same thing about trans-genders 70 years ago, so..)

Mods: I'd have put this in Current Events or maybe even Great Debates, but considering the subject I figured it would wind up here eventually.

It's ok for him to be a woman but not disabled

Sad to say Pandora's box was opened and anything is now up for grabs

I considered identifying as a cat and suing Walmart for the lack of litter boxes.

How's about we get back to reality?

What's in your head doesn't matter, sorry not sorry

It's really not. He can dress in heels and makeup all he wants but his birth certificate should always read male and he should never be admitted to women's changing rooms or their sports teams

but of we don’t left people be whatever they want to be, they will commit suicide and we must save every life because humans are important creatures that have the ability to even change the climate.

On 9/11 most of those who perished were trapped above the impact zones. The major exception were the disabled people in wheelchairs who had a gathering point (as-per emergency guidelines). Many of these were on lower floors and most of them didn’t make it. If this poor deluded gentleman had been there I promise you he would have forgotten all about his wheelchair and dashed down the stairs with all the other able bodied people.
