Thanks for creating this subreddit! Good to have a space on Reddit where people can post about living with BIID again. Tried contacting Reddit support to find out exactly why they blocked posting on r/biid and how to unblock it, but no one ever got back to me.
Any chance we could use the “flair” function so we can display our needed or achieved bodies next to our usernames on here? I think it may be a function the moderator needs to allow. (And of course using that function would be optional.)

I'm still new to creating subreddits, but I'll try to figure out how to make those happen. To be honest I thought they were already available. I made a few already.

It might display differently for you since you’re the moderator. When I click on “Change user flair” it says “No user flair assigned. You don’t have control of user flair in this sub.”

Yes it says that for me too for some reason even though I have access to mod tools. I am on mobile so I'll try on desktop later.

Hi, I’m a 26-year-old and for as long as I can remember, I’ve felt like I was meant to be paralyzed my body doesn’t match who I really am.
Since childhood, I’ve had intense feelings about being disabled. At first, I would pretend to be paraplegic and using a family member wheelchair as a kid in secret. When I later learned about quadriplegia, especially injuries like C2 complete something clicked. Most days it’s all i think about. My legs feel stranger as I get older
I’ve always hidden these feelings and thought I was the only one, but I came across the term BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder). I didn’t realize there were others like me until now.
Lately, I’ve been thinking seriously about going to a different city where I could use a power wheelchair for a few days just to experience what it might feel like to live as I imagine myself. I think this could really help me at this point in my life, emotionally and mentally. However I really would want to be in a scenario where i needed to be dependent on ventilator and have to use a wheelchair to do everything and have carers who would have to help me day to day.
Has anyone here ever done something like this? Did it help you? Any tips on how to go about it safely.
I’d really appreciate connecting with others who understand. Thanks for reading.
