"The Rise of Transableism: A Troubling Societal Issue"

In recent years, a new societal issue called transableism has been attracting attention. Formerly known as Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), transableism is a condition in which individuals identify as being handicapped, and may even go to great lengths to mutilate their own bodies or request amputations from doctors. Some argue that relabeling BIID as transableism aligns the issue with the current trans advocacy movement, potentially leading to more social acceptance and even medical intervention for those affected. However, others, including medical professionals, express concern over the ethical and scientific implications of treating a delusional disorder with irreversible physical procedures. This video delves into the history, controversies, and potential consequences of the rise of transableism in modern society.
