Hi there, I posted above, I am the 21 year old and my name is Paige. While I truly am happy for those women who choose to get surgery and in turn feel much better in their own skin, it does bother me when the way I was born is referred to as "natures mistake." If I view the way I look as the way my parents created me, two halves of a whole, I can accept that I was meant to be born with way. If I view the way I look as a mistake by nature, is is much more difficult to accept. Surgery or not it is still our job to advocate for the acceptance of our bodies, especially in a world where anything but perfect is considered wrong.
