  I think cutting off perfectly healthy body parts is immoral. &nbsp;It&apos;s an indication of a loss of understanding about personal dignity and the value of good health.<br><br>The burden on society cannot be justified no matter how much money they have. &nbsp;<br><br>Many fads created by wealthy high status people (foot binding, arsenic face whitening, surgical lower rib removal and breast implants) become aspirations of poorer people.

  If a person intentially disables themselves and then becomes eligible for tax funded social services as a result, that is a problem for everyone. It is not just “their body their choice.”

  The other thing that I&apos;ve noticed as a black woman is that I&apos;m seeing the phrase &quot;identify as black&quot; being thrown around casually all of a sudden. Like I was reading an article about the air force and they said &quot;17% identify as black.&quot; It&apos;s anything goes it seems. Total transhumanism.

  Don&apos;t Doctors have to do no harm first, cutting off healthy body parts is harm

  &quot;Hans without the legs&quot;<br><br>A long time ago there was one trans person at my university called &quot;A. Gamble&quot;<br><br>I think there is a correlation between these issues and a lack of understanding irony or humour.

  Regarding the closing comments. &nbsp;It beats me how we are still assuming what is now known as trans is one thing, surely its an umbrella term not one thing. &nbsp;When considering whether &quot;trans&quot; has always existed surely that question has to be qualified - what do you mean by &quot;trans&quot;?

  I once saw a documentary with several persons that had this kind of fetish or phantom leg thing… some lived in a wheelchair for example with their leg tied back. One guy even drove to Poland or where it was to get his leg removed, no one knew about it and he was only speaking anonymously. He lied to his family that he had a car accident in Poland where he lost his leg. He said they all pity him but in secret he celebrates and is joyous about it…. <br>I mean since he was an adult, I thought it was very weird but it’s his body, do what you like 🤷🏼‍♀️ But with kids that are indoctrinated, it’s a whole different story.

  &quot;Bodies Under Seige&quot;: Self Mutilation and Body Modification in Culture and Psychiatry. This is a great resource for this kind of thing and the book is partly organized by anatomy and the potential meaning of each body part in psychiatric terms for the patient. What you find immediately through case studies (often horrible to read) is that there is a deep need for sacrifice &quot;to make sacred&quot; involved. And subconscious religious drives at the heart of these case studies. I can speak for myself and say that i actually bought the book at a time when i was deeply alone and depressed and had fantasized about self mutilation. Instead of doing it, i just researched it. I would also posit a theory that similar to the process of starvation, which is sometimes described as the body eating itself in order to sustain itself, i wonder if social starvation effects the psyche in a similar way. In order to feel part of the social, one needs to &quot;make sacrifices&quot;, so to speak. You could use the Yakuza criminal gang as an example. Mistakes are paid for by the cutting off of a finger etc. I don&apos;t know.

  It&apos;s weird to me that psychologists would say that people should perhaps ignore their disgust. Disgust is a crucial early warning system to dangerous substances and situations. We are in a mad world we should absolutely not ignore our disgust. Today we to often &apos;mask&apos; it. A disgust response is painful for the recipient but we have social norms in place for a reason and the reason it has changed at a glacial pace so people don&apos;t lob their body parts off and parade perversions. Let&apos;s not pretend or mask our disgust.
