Dear Diary

Avatar for get_the_author

Written by Claire on Sunday, March 18, 2007

Going through boxes of old books this weekend I came across an old diary. I confess I wasn’t a very regular writer – in a 3-year period there are a total of 13 entries. I quickly read through them, and came across an entry, dated 1981.

We were visiting the family of two twin brothers who have Cerebral Palsy. I noted this fact, adding "I like wheeling around in ——’s wheelchair. It’s fun." I was 10 years old.

I was surprised to see the entry, as I have no memory of the diary or this particular event. But then again, I wasn’t surprised at all, because my fascination with wheelchairs goes back farther than this. What surprised me most, though, is to come across actual, physical proof, for the very first time, of my early transability.

About Claire

I am a wife and mother who has had BIID all my life. Since my earliest memories I have had a deep desire to be a paraplegic. For over 30 years I kept this a closely held secret until one day I just could not take it anymore. Now, I am telling all of you my story, because I know that somewhere there is another wife and mother who is confused about her strange desires and needs to know she is not alone. follow me on Twitter
