It started like this. I read a blog entry, followed a link, read a comment, and followed the authors link to her blog, and from there to Google and to the health-related material that the company I work for indexes. That was my introduction to Harry Benjamin Syndrome (HBS).

And when has anyone suggested you haven't? *smile* You do an excellent job getting us news, Tasha.
And your own opinion posts can be quite thought-provoking, even when I disagree with them. I have actually read a lot of the HBS/WBT pieces that I agree with very much. Those that indicate an 'we-are-better-than' set of beliefs are the ones that I find troublesome.
Not so much the idea and the theory. The conclusions drawn by some of its proponents are what I have difficuties with. Not the notion of GID being caused by some sort of IS anomaly.
Some of those girls seem to propound an almost Nazi-like 'aryan' quality to the idea. And, naturally, they are part of the 'master-race.' I don't find that I require that sort of notion to lend myself an efficacy that, without concluding others are somehow 'different' as in less-than, already exists.
I have already touched my own worth, I needn't denigrate another's to establish that.

I don't mind what is in someone's head, it's what comes out of their mouths that bothers me!! ::)
