 Do I disclose that I am an amputee in online dating profiles? You know, it seems like the disabled community is pretty split on this from what I've heard people saying. Some people do, some people don't. If they don't, generally that is rooted in the idea that they want to be judged as a whole person as themselves and not just have someone say no and not even want to talk to them based on some assumption about disability. However, for me personally, yes, absolutely. It is crystal clear in any photo or even kind of description. The last thing I ever want to do is like show up to a date, walking with my prosthetic leg and have someone put off by that and then have to be there in person for the discomfort. It is a part of who I am, it's a small part of my identity, but it is an important thing to know. And if the idea of dating someone with a prosthetic leg is going to put someone off from wanting to meet up with me, okay, cool, no problem. And at least on an emotional level, it feels a lot safer for people to know beforehand. I would much rather have someone know beforehand so I avoid any discomfort or weirdness in person from either side.
