A controversial chain of thoughts

Written by Sean on Saturday, March 4, 2000

I was talking to a perfect stranger the other day in IRC and he said this: You can get all wrapped up in trying to figure out where it’s (your desires) coming from but you would probably be better served to figure out how to accommodate it and get on with your life.

During another chat I was told: The feelings we have is also a handicap (of sorts) that makes us use a wheelchair. Is there any real difference? Of course, one might not see it this way, but it really is a very incapacitating problem for a lot of wannabes. When one thinks about it so much that all other thoughts are relegated to the back of one’s mind, it sometimes gets difficult to go on.

Here is a parallel that has been made between an amputee and/or paraplegic wannabe: It would not be so far away from the feelings transsexual feel. Feeling a woman’s persona trapped into a man’s body or vice versa. In this case, some wannabe (and here I must insist only *some*) feel they are living someone else’s life, that their real self is one that should be in a wheelchair. I think Overground has some articles dealing with that aspect. Please note that I am personally unsure as to the justified basis of this way of thinking, but bring it forth in an attempt to cover as wide a base as possible.
