I just wanted to share that you don’t have to be “traditionally beautiful” to be considered a woman. I am a woman. I am aware I don’t conform to society’s vision of a woman. But I am a woman.

    Traditional beauty is never what I’m referring to when I say someone is beautiful. Traditional beauty is the male standard of beauty for women. We can sit here and debate camera angles and all that all day, but it doesn’t matter. I honestly think the angle of the pictures is candid and sweet. You made a post declaring “I am a woman” and the picture shows you as you are. There’s pride in that.

    As women we can define beauty for ourselves. I think you’re a beautiful woman. I think that transitioning and choosing to be ourselves in a world of adversity is beautiful. And I hope that you are able to see the beauty of your own womanhood too :)
