I wanted to make it clear that this documentary is not an attack on plastic surgery
We’ve all struggled with insecurities and wanting to change something about ourselves. If anyone tells you differently, they’re lying. And it’s magnified when you’re in the public eye.
I do have access to doing things the right way, but the quick and easy is always attractive to people.
I’m being very transparent about how we’ve all struggled with body image as women. So my story is, yes, I have struggled with insecurities about the way I look. I have looked at my peers and said, I need to be skinnier or I need to be thicker—because it always changes. But then I realized I’m not willing to risk my life to appear a certain way.
I wanted to include [in the film] everyone who’s dealing with these issues. A lot of this started in the trans community—many of them had no choice but to turn to black-market injections. There was no way to do this and not include them. So many of the trans community told us that they’ve been struggling with this problem. This a reality.
In an ideal world, we’d just continue to push people to love themselves and be happy with themselves. Is that realistic?
No, we can't. Christina Aguilera alone has other-wordly vocals rivaling that of any black singer.
Not saying I agree with the OP, but citing Aguilera as an example is in a way kinda supporting OP's point since she leans heavily into African American vocal tradition. The same could be said for Adele and Yebba.
"Better" is a matter of preference but Black vocal timbre is definitely unique and easily recognizable. There are a few white singers you would likely mistake for Black without seeing them. A lot of Black people still don't know that Yebba is white.
Ask blind people who their favorite female singers are.
