Some people are becoming disabled by choice and calling themselves "transabled." Researchers in Canada are trying to better understand how transabled people think and feel.

Clive Baldwin, a Canada Research Chair in Narrative Studies who teaches social work at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., has interviewed 37 people worldwide who identify as transabled. Most of them are men.
