Body Integrity Identity Disorder: What Progressives Are Progressing Toward
Posted by Dave Blount at February 4, 2007 4:22 PM
Political correctness has imposed the mainstreaming of depravity to such an extent that you start to wonder how they could lower the bar for normalcy any further. A woman going by the pseudonym Susan Smith offers a clue.
Smith suffers from a bizarre and horrifying form of insanity that causes people to feel compelled to amputate healthy limbs from their body. As a first step toward normalization, this mental sickness already has a name that makes it sound relatively innocuous: Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID).
After repeated attempts to damage her leg badly enough to have it amputated, Smith finally succeeded. Now she looks forward to destroying the other leg. She hopes that one day her condition will be accepted as normal — and if our culture continues its tailspin into depravity, I don't doubt that it will. In her words:
I think BIID will stay taboo until people get together and bring it out. A hundred years ago, it was taboo to be gay in many societies, and 50 years ago the idea of transsexuals was abhorrent to most.
Soon the taboo will be against suggesting there's anything wrong with wanting to sever your own limbs. No doubt socialized medicine will force taxpayers to pay for the procedure.
On a tip from V the K.
