Topic: trans woman also pretends to be a paraplegic, and her doctor even gives her a handicapped car tag.

Anonymous A started this discussion 13 years ago #25,234

Image went missingSomeone dropped me a line about a show they saw on the National Geographic Channel this week called “Taboo: Secret Lives”. I’ve never seen the show, but apparently they featured a woman who “had a secret”, and the secret was that she was a fake paraplegic. That’s right! The woman went around in a wheelchair pretending to have a spinal injury- fooling everyone. The woman who contacted me just couldn’t believe that a female would do such a thing. She was certain that the woman (although they never mentioned it on the show) must be a male transgender. And she was right.

The copy from the National Geographic website reads:

“Chloe Jennings-White leads a double life. A Ph.D chemist in Salt Lake City, Utah, Chloe lives as a paraplegic in a wheelchair. For the most part, people believe that Chloe is unable to walk, but she has a shocking secret. Chloe isn’t paraplegic at all. She is not a paraplegic, but chooses to live as one.”

What they fail to mention is that he is also a man who “chooses to live as” a woman, as well as pretending to be paraplegic.

According to the LATimes he was Clive Jennings-White up until at least 2003, a PHD in organic chemistry working for Pherin and Realm Pharmaceuticals at the time, both pheromone companies, and holder of multiple pharmaceutical patents, mostly artificial pheromones.

Now working at Human Pheromone Sciences Inc in Salt Lake City Utah , a phermone marketer. He also claims to be employed and have his own laboratory and office at the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute, in the ECT wing.

He was born in 1955 and grew up in England, obtaining a doctorate from Cambridge, was a married hetero male and father to two sons. Became a Fullbright Scholar and post-doctoral fellow at Stanford and did research at the University of Utah Department of Psychiatry (!).

Not only that, but when he is not busy posting crazy-ass videos of his fake lesbian significant-other Danielle Sainte-Marie (also a transgender male) and faking paraplegia and disability he is an extensive mountain climber and hiker: http://www.peakbagger.com/climber/ClimbListC.aspx?cid=4163

Cancer survivor and disability activist blogger Sara K. at Ready Pink and Able (unaware that Chloe is actually male) writes:

“Why haven’t doctors put her on psych meds? She is completely delusional. I know, she has BIID. Does this mean, we just accept her fraud? If I expressed a desire to be an African American, no doctor would find it appropriate to counsel me to walk around in “black face”. Why is it that Chloe gets the benefit of a disorder with which to label herself??? Where is the outrage? Am I the only one who feels ill at the very thought of this woman and her deception? We all scream for blood when we find that someone fakes a cancer diagnosis! That’s horrible…just disgusting. Somehow this woman has gotten a pass because she has a disorder. I am sick with anxiety and anger. I really am sick. I have participated in autopsies and multiple bloody patient encounters which didn’t make me ill. I have performed incision and drainage procedures which included copious amounts of pus. None of it caused me to vomit. However, this story caused my chest to tighten, breath to quicken, and my stomach to churn with an unbelievable ferocity. The anxiety that remains, even now, is so strong that I can only hope for recovery. My outrage may live for a while in this case. Does anyone blame me? Frankly, I don’t care…I’m not even attempting to veil my feelings here.”

On the Transabled.org website Chloe describes his dream of becoming genuinely disabled as a form of “transition”. His partner Danielle aka Alicia (because just one fake persona is never enough apparently) posts in the same thread to a guy who describes seeking a back alley surgeon that will “snip” his spine: “Much support to you as you move towards authenticity!”- using the identical language adopted by the transgenderist movement.

Not only that but Chloe brags about how he got a physician to write a letter authorizing him to get a handicapped parking space even though the doctor knows he is not handicapped, and he instructs the others on how they can do the same, the better to enjoy taking handicapped parking spaces from genuinely handicapped people.

Some threads on Chloe from a Spinal Injury Forum:

http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=176092

http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=175081

(sample comment: “I feel like someone needs to break her neck.”)

Presumably Chloe was able to stop the National Geographic from mentioning his recent “Gender Transition” in the show featuring his emerging “Transabled Transition” as a condition of his appearance. Which is unfortunate for a couple of reasons. First of all, there is a strong correlation between Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID)- the urge to pretend one is, or fantasize about actually becoming handicapped- and transgenderism.

In fact, researchers who have formerly studied Gender Identity Disorder (before the transgender political lobby began to stifle alternative treatment research) are now studying BIID in hope that the science will support non-invasive treatments for all forms of bodily identity disorder.

From this Newsweek article on BIID:

“Some conservative voices in the medical community feel that the normalization of sex-change surgeries was the start of a slippery slope. “You keep pushing the envelope of impaired people who aren’t in touch with reality in some fashion, who develop ideas about their normalcy,” says Dr. Mark Schiller, a psychiatrist and past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. “Essentially from just claiming that something’s the case, people just accept somebody’s distorted version of reality and then we get surgeons and others responding to the point of mangling normal bodies.”
The second reason it is unfortunate the show failed to mention the fact that Chloe is male is that this is yet another instance where outrageous male behavior is being reported as female behavior. As I said before, when a “woman” was reported to be living her life as an “adult baby”, messing herself and selling porn about it (and “she” turned out to be a dude): when you hear about a female doing something really wack, or read about it in a newspaper or on a website, and it just “doesn’t sound right” to you: It’s probably a male transgender.

I'm not defending her so much as I'm just trying to understand why you give a shit. Handicapped parking spots are kind of bullshit anyway. People in wheelchairs roll around all the time, handicap parking does pretty much nothing, but render parking spots useless the majority of the time. Which is ultimately bad for business.

Look, I will concede that it is shitty for someone to fake being crippled to get better parking. But it's just something I don't really care about. So some guy using crutches has to park farther away, okay.

The person in the article doesn't just get up and walk around they remain in the wheelchair. You're acting as if better parking is a fair trade off for not being able to walk.

No, I wouldn't be cool with someone doing that. But I wouldn't let it ruin my day, and I'm pretty sure Cupcake wouldn't either.

It wouldn't though. She would just have to walk further. If she's in crutches that means she can walk in crutches, and if she's in a wheelchair then that's not even an issue, she can roll herself a bit further.

In some bizzaro world where she can't get somewhere if it's a bit further away then I can just carry her.

If she can't move across the surface then a closer spot isn't going to help a whole lot. Also the person who gave this guy a handicap parking pass is the most at fault. The guy is clearly mentally ill and probably shouldn't be pandered to.

It would be easy to do I imagine, just a snip really. I've read about people doing self-amputations on purpose cause they just really wanted to be that way. It's a strange thing to be sure. I guess the woman's best bet is to stage an "accident" that breaks her back.
