This is the post in question.

The thing about “transability” is that it’s just that—different abilities. If you don’t have a certain ability or disability, then you don’t have it, and there’s no reason to feel like you should or shouldn’t like it’s the same thing as being transgender. Because it’s not. It’s just not. It’s just appropriative bullshit.

I think the bolded summarizes my feelings about transabled.

I’m sorry if I’m not being inclusive. I think there is a big difference between people with BIID and people claiming that they “identify as disabled/autistic/chronically ill/etc.”

I have a problem with disability being an “identity,” at least, one that someone can “claim” without actually HAVING the disability, and I have a problem with individuals who think they can understand what it means to be disabled or ill without having ever lived it.

And I have a very big problem with comparing transabled, transethnic, and transfat with transgender.

It is appropriative and out of line.

I still want to do reading on BIID and “transability” because I just…can’t believe that someone would want this. Or “claim” it as an identity.
