Another transabled when I was in High School?

Written by Sean on Saturday, June 4, 2005

When I was in high school, there was this gal whom I’m pretty sure was also transabled. I of course may be completely wrong, but there were too many things that made me think she could have been. I now have lost track, and I should perhaps do a bit of searching to find out if I’m right or not.

This girl seemed to be the clumsiest girl around. Even came back from a skiing holiday, dragging her foot and using crutches, explaining that she had an injury that temporarily paralysed her foot. That’s fair enough, but it would seem to me that if that was the case, she wouldn’t have been back in school on the Monday after that weekend, and that the medical folks would have given her a brace of some sort so her foot wouldn’t drag behind her. I know, I know… I shouldn’t assume things like that, but it *is* weird, is it not?

There were several such incidents. While I can’t recall the incidents themselves, I remember thinking “Geeee, this is weird“. Of course, at the time I had no idea there actually were other people feeling the way I do. And I most certainly didn’t have the nerve to go up to her and ask her outright. If I were to bump into her in the street nowaday, I do believe I’d ask. But the likelyhood of that happening is rather thin.

So I’m left with having to wonder if I missed the opportunity of a lifetime when I was a kid, to date someone else that felt like me! Ha!
