Afraid of transability

Written by Sean on Wednesday, January 1, 1997

I received recently an email from someone that has none of the desires/interests I describe on this page and he was telling me that while he was usually pretty open minded about other people’s quirks, this one scared him; that it was actually more than he needed to know. I am saddened that someone would feel this way, but I accept it. At least he had the honesty of telling me what he felt in an adult way.

I would just like to let people (that aren’t sharing our feelings) know that there is nothing to be frightened by. We don’t want to hurt anyone, and while some of us do get really down at not being paralyzed, very very few of us actually end up acting on our desires. There is nothing to be afraid about. And if you are, it probably simply means you aren’t understanding. That’s why my page is here, among other things, to offer you a small peek in this whole new world… Probably you won’t understand, since even the people living it rarely understand, but you will now be aware. And you can see from my writings and the personal stories that we aren’t completely mad…. Perhaps a little crazy, but…. ;-)
