a person who searches for BIID related information will find better places like transabled.org or biid-info.org first.

Every link to or mention of web sites is like an ad for them so that they are easier to find.

I really do appreciate your activities and advocating for all of us very much. But are THESE web sites really so important and influential? Or are there more important places to advocate – with higher impact of your energies?

We have an old rule here in Bavaria: “not even ignore” something or somebody. Maybe that’s why I am just culturally blind ;-)

The problem with the internet is that, unlike print media, it is easy to find and remains on archive forever. So it is important to respond to erroneous statement and set things straight, so when people are searching for information about BIID, and they come across that link, they see the responses as well.

I *have* contacted the editors, but they haven’t responded. I’m not surprised. I doubt they will respond.

Better write to the editors and the author and demand that it be corrected where wrong. And if it is a student’s paper, you can write to the professor as well.

But why transporting wrong information further…?

Best wishes!

If a prof. vetted it, that was badly done as well.

I have a feeling The Wellness Center would be both terrified and fascinated if anyone came in and said, “I need to be paraplegic.”
