Should "transabled" people be affirmed in their desire to become disabled?
I see your point. But is it ethical to deny them the right to modify their own bodies to achieve the identity they feel they need?
The issue isn't about denying someone the right to do what they want with their body. The issue is whether we should actively support and promote such desires. We should always value the dignity and worth of every person, but affirming such desires could have unintended consequences and reinforce harmful stereotypes about disability.
