Wow. I'm so surprised to know about this problem. I never imagined or knew.
To me mental
illness = a problem to be cured or tried to. It is not healthy and not seen as "the normal". Maybe it doesn't matter to the person though. I know nothing about any of thread, so I maybe shouldn't say. I am trying to understand and I am so surprised with the replies.
Thank you for answering.
Another question: Is saying "pretending to be handicapped" correct (before surgery)? Is "pretending" bad or offensive?
And three more (sorry - I always am curious!
) Please say "stop" if you want): Do you tell family and friends? With homosexuality people say often "I knew when I was a young kid" - same with BIID? And how common is BIID? Extremely rare?
