Yes I've heard about her. I saw a programme on her on TV or the internet. Very inspiring, calling her 'ugly' is just cruel, she has a condition. It's an inspiration that she can go on and have a happy life, even if she doesn't meet all her goals.

I don't have to try and twist anything around. I say exactly what I mean. This is the last time I'm explaining this to you: I decided it was pointless for myself to go all out with a lot of make up and dress in a fashion style that didn't suit me in ORDER TO ATTRACT MEN. SO instead I wear the clothes that I like that aren't necessarily attractive to men and I don't wear make up because I don't want to. What part don't you 'get' about that?

If some woman like yourself wants to wear make up and dress in whatever way, whether you get attention or not, what the hell do I care? And better yet, why do you care if I care?

You seem to have a hard time comprehending that just because a woman doesn't dress very sexy or wear a lot of make up she is automatically a slob. I said none of these things about my own appearance.

I am afraid that she won't meet one of her goals, though. She faces a huge obstacle in finding a partner who won't be scared off by her looks. She almost certainly can't have genetic children, even through a surrogate, and she would likely have a very difficult time adopting a child as a single mother because of her precarious health condition. But I hope she is able to find happiness with a different kind of family, one that is made up of relatives and friends and people she has helped through her motivational speaking.

I agree with this, a lot of people out there who think they are very 'ugly' probably do not have any kind of genetic disorder anywhere near like what she has. She probably spend her time with friends and family members then

You know I was only a few pounds away from being her baby weight.

I don't think she's ugly at all. The people who scorn her for what she looks like are horrible people and they should get educated on her disease. I saw that video as well and honestly I didn't think that at all, and some of those posts are incredibly hurtful. Mae me angry for being human.

you were making a lot of snarky remarks about why I dress up and wear makeup since i don't get attention from men. now you are twisting things around a bit trying to be slick.

okay, you just have this 'i give up on life' attitude so I felt the same thing applied to your looks. sorry for taking it the wrong way

I'm not going to discuss it anymore Nyanna, I don't care what you do, how you dress, or how you oil your booty. the end.

anyways: this post was for people that feel they are so ugly, to look at this woman's life. Maybe they are not as ugly as they think. (not holding her up to be some 'ugly measuring stick' or anything) just saying, you know what I mean. there's a lot of people on here that say they are very, very ugly all the time.
