What's beautiful is: when we realize so many different types of people and bodies do exist, we stop considering "male" and "female" to be normal . Allowing for a wider diversity of humans and life experiences lets people define for themselves what normal means. Being intersex or having different abilities and needs . . . these aren't things that need to be fixed, or indicators of "something wrong." be fixed, or indicators of "something wrong." These are parts of valid and beautiful humans who also deserve love and acceptance in this world. Or at least the world I'm hoping we all want to create together.
