Since I was a kid I have always wanted to look like this in a picture. But as I type this I am aware I don't look like this now, that it took a lot of folks to help me look like this in a picture. And am I buying into, reproducing unrealistic, oppressive beauty standards that csn cause harm and have actually caused me harm as well? And how do I benefit from potentially reproducing, buying into said standards? And how do I reconcile these competing things while still really wanting to look like this in a picture? The things I think about while listening to @brenebrown' s conversation with @sonyareneetaylor on Brown's podcast while wanting to post a pretty photo by @sequoiaemmanuelle … #TransIsBeautiful
