The Thin Line Between

Devoted Friend & Devotee by Peggy Chenoweth

I

If you mention the term “devotee” to people outside the amputee community, chances are they won’t know what you’re talking about. For those unfamiliar with the term, a devotee is someone who is attracted to a person with limb loss. The attraction can range from simple admiration of the amputee to the full sexualization of the residual limb.

A little vigilance and detective work can help make social media a positive experience!
