Gordo’s humble beginnings

This is a bit long-winded, but hopefully it’s easy to read and rich in content, so bear with me here… :)

There are some out there who say that people with Body Integrity Identity Disorder often have some early interaction with people with disabilities, which eventually leads to "acquiring" BIID. Some may have relatives or friends with disabilities, or have constant contact with people with disabilities. It is very possible that this contact may manifest itself in someone’s early childhood memories and eventually morph into BIID.

The Wee Years

by Marisa - 29 July 2007

Thirty one years into my well-rounded life I look back at some of my first memories and recall the need to be disabled. I remember grabbing my father’s “gout” crutches and resting my armpits where a grown-up’s hands would normally be. I used to sneak sessions consisting of seconds to minutes as a child who needed crutches. I had true guilt over what I was doing, yet I couldn’t seem to pull my eyes away from the crutches whenever they were in sight.

Kelly’s recap

by Kelly - 14 July 2007

Greetings to all.  By way of introduction, I am a 56 year old genetic male, who has been aware of two powerful "issues" (for lack of a better word at the moment) since I was about 5-7 years old:

1. I am transgendered
2. I am transabled

This post recounts my adventures in air travel as a wheeler, on my voyage home from my recent trip. It takes the form of notes that I typed up at several points throughout the day.
