Brad Essex Report
Welcome to the Brad Essex report here's is what I'm looking at this week. I just read a article about being transabled. National Post based in Canada gave the us a view of how these people are. One man who now calls himself One Hand Jason let everyone believe it was an accident.

But he had for months tried different means of cutting and crushing the limb that never quite felt like his own, training himself on first aid so he wouldn’t bleed to death, even practicing on animal parts sourced from a butcher.

“My goal was to get the job done with no hope of reconstruction or re-attachment, and I wanted some method that I could actually bring myself to do,”. He said to the National Post. Another One a 78-year-old man told National Post he’d lived with the secret for 60 years and never told his wife.

The National Post said, “It’s a problem for individuals because it’s distressing. But lots of things are.” He suggests this is just another form of body diversity — like transgenderism — and amputation may help someone achieve similar goals as someone who, say, undergoes cosmetic surgery to look more like who they believe their ideal selves to be.

Yet these people think that it should be accepted like trangenderism. I have a gay friend who said that Trangenderism is a mental disease and she's gay which is true because science has proven that same sex love do happen in other species. Trangenderism is not a natural thing as is Transabled. These people are the ones that hurt people like me from getting the help we need. We have fat asses that pretend to be a baby that collect disability. Fat people who can't walk that get disability. I've seen a woman have her son do her shopping for her while in a cart at work and the kid was about 8 or 9 years old. Yet people like me are told they can't get disability because they are not fully

    Some people need amputations because of all different types of reasons. Amputations are normally done on a person who is diabetic. In some other cases it could be because of an injury, or if they did not clean it properly. Cancer can also be another cause. Sometimes a person just did not take care of the part of the body and disease will set in. (WebMD). People can prevent amputations by sixty percent if they clean the wound properly . If someone is a smoker, and smokes cigarettes, that person has a way higher risk than someone who does not smoke. There is…

    The fact that media glosses over the sadness and grief that can result from an amputation and its primary focus being the tangible achievements of an amputee, perpetuates damaging stereotypes. Such stereotypes, specifically the…

    Throughout the essay, “Becoming Disabled” by Rosemarie Garland-Thomas, her main claim that she argues is that she wants the disabled community to be politicized in the eyes of society. First, Garland-Thomas talks about politicizing disabilities into a movement. She compares and contrasts movements for race and sexual orientations to the movements about disability (2). Disability movements have not gained as much attention as race or sexual orientation movements because so many Americans do not realize how prominent disability separation is in America. She wants people to start recognizing that disability is just as important as race and other movements. Next, Garland-Thomas speaks about different types of disabilities and how they aren’t always…

    “The amputation is often related to chronic illness such as diabetes, vascular disease, and renal insufficiency and high rates of postoperative complications and mortality are reported” (Belmont; Kristensen, Holm, Kirketerp-Møller, Krasheninnikoff, & Gebuhr). Now, think about losing a leg due to a tragic disaster. When the plane crash happened, she completely changed. Losing her leg and going through something as tragic as a plane crash forever changed her life. Amputation involves a loss of body image, loss of function, and a loss of sensation. Body image has four factors, “(1) agreement (i.e., similar actual and ideal body shapes); (2) discrepancy (i.e., different actual and ideal body shapes); (3) direction of discrepancy (i.e., actual > ideal or actual < ideal); and (4) degree of discrepancy (i.e., how different actual and ideal body self-perceptions are).” ( Shauna Solomon-Krakus, M.Sc, Atherine M. Sabiston, Ph.D.correspondence, Ennifer Brunet, Ph.D., Andree L. Castonguay, Ph.D, Katerina Maximova, Ph.D, and ., Mélanie Henderson, M.D., Ph.D. "Body Image Self-Discrepancy and Depressive Symptoms Among Early…

    Loss of limb is associated with several changes in one’s personal life, including changes in well being, quality of life, and autonomy. Persons with loss of limb are often stigmatized as ‘disabled’ and subject to prejudice; it is as though people see the missing limb before they see the person with loss of limb. To many, persons with loss of limb are a reminder that they themselves could lose their limbs, and that their own personal safety could be at risk (Murray 2009). Therefore, the missing limb becomes central to any encounter they have with an individual with loss of limb and they have trouble looking past it. It marks persons with loss of limb as clearly different; they are missing something, and this lack can make them seem physically…

    An individual may have a visible or invisible disability; either should not reject a person from equal opportunity. Discrimination against, race, gender, age, and disability is illegal whether one recognizes it or not. Truthfully, discrimination still exist in the world but with hope to come and with the help of ADA, this can be something of societies past. Moreover, to protect the disable, the American Disability Act (ADA) of 1990 was passed by Congress to try eliminating discrimination. The ADA’s primary objective is to protect discrimination against a person with mental or physical disabilities in the private sector in areas such as employment, telecommunication, transportation and public services.…

    Unsurprisingly, transgenders, those who believe they are the opposite gender than their biological gender, have an increased rate of depression and anxiety, as well as substance use. The two mental illnesses go hand in hand, which just increases the chance of both being diagnosed. Transgenders are commonly bullied at school, and have no support from friends and family. They are consistently judged by their peers, and in the religious world are judged as going against the will of God. They have even been told that they are suffering from a mental illness, which also affects the likelihood that someone will seek treatment. Many transgenders tend to not go to therapy, or seek help because they wish to not direct attention and discuss their gender dysphoria. The question still remains whether being a transgender is actually a mental illness. Many transgenders are commonly diagnosed gender dysphoria, rather than depressed. They are continuously pushed to change their gender, and in this sense they are more commonly undiagnosed as having major depressive disorder, and thus also have a higher suicide rates than non-transgender people. So because of the psychiatrists who still view this gender dysphoria as being a mental disorder, many trans are being misdiagnosed as being co-diagnose, rather than the larger matter of the one major illness, major depressive disorder. This as well is shared with the idea of substance abuse. So many…

    “I'll think I’ll live,” He smirked at me. I ran to the bathroom to grab him a bandaid and some warm water. His leg looked like something crawled up through the dirt and ripped it apart. How could he not want me to take him to the doctor? He is mental. The next day he started to act odd, he was randomly coughing up this white looking ooze, but not mucus. His skin was a pale shade of almost greenish blue, what was wrong with him, was it the cut? No matter what it was I knew I should help him.…

    All around the world, people are using this deragotory term without truly realizing the hidden recievers and meaning of the word. They don’t realize that out there, there are people who have mental disabilties or others close to them who recieve the message in a different fashion.

    That day I saw two blue buses parked outside of the emergency room entrance. The crew lifted out three individuals that were barely recognizable; they were all unconscious and hooked up to various machinery. They were quickly transported inside the hospital. At that moment, I had witnessed a transformation: men—who were once the epitome of justice and freedom—now twisted and grotesque victims suffering from various degrees of burns and other injuries from our occupation in the Middle East. This was a reality check for me. I was no longer watching news segments from the BBC or CNN on television in the comfort of my own home; I was seeing this in real time. I began to wonder if their families knew where they were or worse…

    I identify as bisexual meaning that I can be sexually attracted to both men and woman. My sexuality can cause me to be discriminated against by both the LGBTQ community and those who aren’t in it. For some of the LGBTQ, bisexual people are seen as greedy or confused. Generally in the lesbian community, they’ve been known for saying they’re greedy, untrustworthy, and disgusting. Despite the fact that the LGBTQ community is a minority group, we still like to oppress those within it even more, especially if they aren’t gay or lesbian. Outside the community, bisexual people are seen as “going through a phase” or as sexual objects for others pleasure. Among some, we’re expected to “prove” ourselves or we’re just liars. The usual term that I’m called due to my sexuality is the false spelling of dyke…

    Transgender people have a different and unique set of health issues. They have greater risks for mental health issues due to the internal conflict and stigmatism of being transgender and have a higher risk for anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, post traumatic stress disorder, and drug addiction. (NAMI, 2007) People that live this lifestyle deal with negative societal attitudes. Some may find that their employers are not accepting of their decision to live as a man and are fired from their jobs. Others may have family members who do not understand their reasoning for wanting to dress and act the way they do and are disowned. (Transgender Health, 2010) Unfortunately, with today’s lack of understanding for these individuals, they have a higher risk for violence. The incidences of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse are greater among this population then in the mainstream population. (Bostwick, 2007)…

    Most transgender people face discrimination every day here in America. New laws are being written to protect transgender people, but it can take several years before those laws are passed and go into effect. With or without these laws transgender people are being discriminated against. The United States lags far behind in establishing transgender equality and a majority of all states still do not have civil rights protections for transgender Americans.…
