“He values my humour and my commitment and my love and my caring heart,”She added.
“None of these things that he values about me change if my body changes. So when someone slides into his DMs leading with their body first, he’s asking, ‘But what else?’
“Because he knows, just like me, that people’s values are not based on how their bodies conform to society’s trash beauty standards.
“And I get it, if this is the way you think, it’s the way you’ve been taught. However, it is your responsibility to unlearn it.”
