It is important for the rest of us to be aware of its impact on those who are forced to sit in wheelchairs and who dream of being able-bodied. We've had enough of all this bending-over-backwards to excuse and sympathize with this behavior. And perhaps exposure to your heart-wrenching message will "cure" the BIID "sufferers".

This is a woman who unbinds herself to go hiking or skiing. How nice.<br /><br /><br />It's hard to know what to say when the anger is so deep. I read about people with BIID and there's a lump in my throat. They think their limbs feel foreign, and yet they haven't felt how agonizingly foreign a paralyzed or dystonic limb is. I have dreams where my body parts are replaced by someone else's, and those dreams are <i>awesome</i>. I would love to go hiking on Chloe Jennings-White's functional legs.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505187301023634468.post-9158714417079961612015-11-07T05:54:45.744+00:002015-11-07T05:54:45.744+00:00I don't even know what to say, so I'll say...I don't even know what to say, so I'll say nothing.
