Maybe this is a case where the person with this issue ought to be finding a really good therapist and figure out why the fuck it is they hate whatever fully functional appendage or organ so much and why they would seek to have it removed (assuming its not some opioid scam or SSI/disability con).  It clearly is a serious mental illness if real, and I'm not trans or gay, but I would have to imagine if I were trans this would piss me off to no end.  I can get the idea of a person's phyche's gender being opposite of the physically present one and how that would be an irresolvable conflict left as is, as it involves one of the primary emotional and physical senses of oneself.  Having or not having a fucking foot is about being a whole person regardless of gender and wanting to cut off a foot that is healthy and not a source of never ending pain is beyond mental illness and is clearly not something that I would think any ethical surgeon would ever participate in.

I'm gonna claim trans-human and demand neural stem cells and a cranial expansion so I can be more at peace with my alien origins.  At least that's how I feel, so it must be true.  Or maybe the answer is the other way I'll get a lobotomy and be happy with the pointless and unmeaningful pursuits (for me) that most humans engage in.  Yeah, that'll fly I'm sure...

Needing crutches and a wheelchair to get around for around 2 years now I find this baffling, I'd give anything to walk again. I am mostly bedbound and in a ultra depressing prison suffering from almost daily panic attacks with fight or flight and feeling like I can;t breath/dying.

On the other hand I believe people should be able to do whatever they want as long as they aren't hurting someone else, but they should probably seek therapy/advice first before making a life long decision.

While I am sure there are other stories to the contrary,


People who don't accept a body part, for whatever reason, generally never will accept it.  And if they have the means to travel to a country where a doctor will amputate the offending limb, they will do it.  Or, they try to do it themselves (which can be quite messy).


In the stories that I've heard of, people who've done this (had an amputation for no other reason than they did not like, or accept that particular body part) were happier afterwards; their depression & stress went away with their limb.  These people also don't seem to move on to another body part to hate/amputate.


This is called Body Integrity Identity Disorder:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_integrity_identity_disorder


"BIID is typically accompanied by the desire to amputate one or more healthy limbs. It also includes the desire for other forms of disability, as in the case of a woman who intentionally blinded herself."


I don't think there's much in the way of treatment, except to do damage to the body.

^^^@ Morphy, that's it in a nutshell. Personally i feel like Spore does, would give up a limb to walk normal & no CP, but had a patient once who *absolutely* felt his foot "shouldn't be there" and was one of those mentioned who had already tried (& failed) to damage it enough for amputation. He got treated like crap by some of the staff--all "judgey" etc which didn't help the guy obviously.

Ticked me off to see one particular obese dr being all judgmental. Really wanted to say, Umm so it's ok you're "lazy" or "eat your feelings" but *he's* a nutjob?  (woulda cost me my job for insubordination), but did offer said dr another Bear Claw to munch on while he was sharing his "wisdom" (aka known as we couldn't just walk away & chart, answer bells etc cuz he's a doctor). Figured, hey, maybe he'll quit talkin if busy chewing lol.

I'll never forget that patient telling me he was going to try to go to Mexico or maybe Venezuela, to get it amputated. My heart went out to him--what a misery it's got to be to feel so consumed by it every day :(

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
