In what world is this okay? 👏🏼 That message is damaging. It insinuates that I’m automatically considered less “pretty” because I’m missing something. That I’m not whole. It’s taken me a long time to get to where I am comfortable showing my legs to the world, but I am still human. Those comments are damaging. I am confident in who I am, but imagine a new amputee or a young girl new to social media showing her prosthetic legs for the first time and receiving a message like that. We have to change the narrative that people with a disability are less pretty, “normal,” or valuable. We are all different and our differences don’t take away from our worth. To set the record straight: I am capable. I am strong. I am beautiful. I am able. I am purposeful. I am confident. And I don’t have legs... which doesn’t change any of those statements ✌🏻” @jessicatatianalong ♥️」11月24日 22時50分
