According to the New York Post, Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID) is now being labeled as transableism to better align it with the transgender community.
The report goes on to point out that the change in label would be from a diagnosable psychiatric condition to an advocacy term as moving from BIID to “transable” allows people using the twem to “harness the stunning cultural power of gender ideology” and opening the door for doctors to “amputate healthy limbs” in an effort to “treat” patients.
BIID is defined by the National Library of Medicine as “the extremely rare phenomenon of persons who desire the amputation of one or more healthy limbs or who desire a paralysis,” they note that “Some of these persons mutilate themselves; others ask surgeons for an amputation or for the transection of their spinal cord.”
