Failure to find a sexual partner is now a disability. Thoughts?

[witherwing]

Just stumbled upon this and thought it was interesting. What do you think of the new classification?

Reading the opinions, it seems that not many bothered to read the actual article. Firstly, while I decided to post the headline from Express, because of the conspicuous headline, it is not the only source who published news about this back in 2016.
Secondly, the decision to class not being able to find a suitable sexual partner was to make it easier for single people to adopt. And thirdly, professionals interviewed disagreed with the matter calling it stupid, so easy to guess it didn't succeed.

People bitch about how people without disabilities get disability cheques. This is why. Stupid stuff like this is what allows people to abuse disability and welfare cheques. Its not a disability but if the government says it is, even when it isn't, you have to get your disability cheque if you apply for it because if you don't then it will be discrimination. It's so stupid 🤦

I think the article is about how being infertile is now considered a disability. It makes a little since because it is out of your control. I’m not saying I agree or disagree on weather or not this is a disability, but I can understand why it might be considered as such.

That link has all the Hallmarks of fake news, and doesn't link you to the actual text of the document, plus the WHO doesn't pass laws.

Here's what the WHO says: www.who.int/.../

I don’t agree with that. A disability is something out of your control.

Being someone no one wants to be around and dislikes is definitely in your control.

U can influence this feeling but legally u can not force someone else to want or do as u would like u say, command, ask, communicate what you will but it is the others own decision to decide on however they are going to conduct themselves and or think over any information heard seen felt... gathered

@KingKoopa77 you can make yourself a more desirable partner.

[thottiana]

What if you are ugly and no one wants to be with you because you are ugly

[BellePepper]

@thottiana everyone is beautiful in their own way

[thottiana]

Thats bullshit

[BellePepper]

I have a hard time believing anything in the express, but I guess that would mean people will get dsa and blue badges. Smh

[Schnitzel]

Guilty, didn't click on anything. I'm too paranoid to click links. 😁

Nowadays anything can be considered a handicap. What're they gonna do to treat this? Legalize prostitution and start handing out prescriptions? I mean come on. The world isn't an easy place, I wish that people would stop making certain hands their dealt into a reason to throw their cards in. Struggle is a great way to inspire self-improvement.

I know a number of women who don't want children.. Are they also considered sexually disabled?

[M-ikaela]

Ridiculous. people who came to this conclusion are probably disabled themselves

[Patrickjv]

Lel I knew most of guys here were disabled judging by the comments. Now we got the proof.

[Buckzor]

I think it is disabling to an extent, and in certain context, not a disability.

[oddwaffle]

Do they get disability benefits? Like parking and free monies?

If not then they lie.

[coffeegod]

I'm having a hard time believing this is a real thing.

[winterfox10]

Considering the number of undersexed millennials, I think we may have a epidemic on our hands.

[Dchrls78104]

So what if someone is a virgin by choice or for religious reasons? Did that person choose to be disabled?

[vjedi]

And this is the problem with Generation "Victimhood"

[Soarmulletman]

Lol I can't believe this is where the world going to.

[JesseTheMan]

I mean if I get free disability benefits I'll take it I guess 😝😝

[CoffeeWC]

It's an excuse for people to spend more money for doctors visits.

[scooogy]

I'm just waiting for overreaction to sexual approaches to be classified as a disability as well.

[TallAnon]

I mean, finding a sexual partner is easy, finding an actual partner is way harder

[Krumpir]

Yeaaah gimme all the advantages of disabled people :) ~> : ~> :( ~> 😭

[imnotadrdamnt]

Well God damn time to collect my benefits then cuz I don't have a damn clue on how the whole hook up thing occurs

[KDria]

Does it come with a disability check?

[LordSnuggles]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I could get my school to make accommodations. Being frustrated makes it hard to math, after all.

[KDria]

Lolol

[LordSnuggles]

Imagine that waiting room.

[Schnitzel]

Haha, good point. 🤣

[jacquesvol]

ALWAYS believe everything a tabloid prints.
;)

[jacquesvol]

in my opinion , not being able to find a suitable sexual partner has more to do with unrealistic expectations

[FemWorship]

hahahaahahaha as we turn into sissies worldwide
