A New BIID Website!

Avatar for get_the_author

Written by Sean on Monday, March 8, 2010

One of my Google alerts notified me of a new site: http://biid.org.uk. I became momentarily excited at the thought another site would discuss BIID, and I hoped it was done well. I couldn’t help laughing out loud when I saw the site.

The site is for the British Institute of Interior Design!!!

I am always amused when some group or other uses an acronym similar to the one for "our" condition. They probably would be horrified to realise how their organisation uses the name of a controversial and vastly misunderstood condition.

In the end though, I wouldn’t be surprised if the British Institute of Interior Design became better known than Body Integrity Identity Disorder…

“Design” fits well, e.g.:

Body Improvement for Identity Design = BIID
