There is outrage in Norway after a man was sympathetically interviewed on television about his decision to begin identifying as a disabled woman.

Jørund Viktoria Alme, 53, an able-bodied male who now identifies as a disabled woman, told Good Morning Norway that he had always seen himself as a woman who was paralysed from the waist down.

Wait. Where’s the asteroid? I digress.

You already know how this goes.

Unreal

People were more than happy to honour his she/her pronouns, but they were disgusted by his claim to be disabled.

Because he is not disabled.

He’s not a woman either, but whatever.

It’s a little like the case of Canadian man Gwen Benaway who claimed to be an indigenous woman.

Canadians were more than happy to open women’s bathrooms to the guy, but not their ethnicity.

Race and disability are off-limits. It’s totally okay to appropriate womanhood, though. Sorry ladies.

I have to admit that I laughed when Noomi Alexandersen, who has cerebral palsy, told journalists that Alme’s identity “felt like an insult to the disabled community”.

What about the female community? Isn’t a dude in a dress claiming to be a chest feeder an insult to women?

Apparently not.

It’s certainly an insult to Norwegian men!

But honestly, how else did we think this “I identify as ….” movement was going to go? There are no limits.

I’m old enough to remember when all of this was called “pretending”.

Body Integrity Dysphoria

The real question, though, is why able-bodied Alme hasn’t transitioned to disabled.

I mean, just as you can get surgery to identify with your chosen gender, there is no reason Alme couldn’t have a little operation to properly identify as a person whose legs don’t work.

And isn’t that the great irony here? Alme could chop off his dick and take hormones until he’s blue in the face, but he’ll never be a woman.

On the other hand, a swift iron bar to the legs and he would truly be disabled. Either that, or he would suddenly identify as a male sprinter.

What he actually identifies as is attention-seeking.

If you think Alme is ridiculous but you have your pronouns in your social media bio, then sorry, but you are just as ridiculous.

Alme’s case will hopefully prompt thinking people to ask why it is you can identify as a woman, but not as a paraplegic. Why is a trans woman stunning and brave, but trans-disabled is disgusting?

Alme and people like him need to be given the biggest platform possible in order to wake people up.

Thank you for your service, xer.
