“Under the current \u2018tyranny of slenderness\u2019 women are forbidden to become large or massive; they must take up as little space as possible. The very contours a woman\u2019s body takes on as she matures\u2014the fuller breasts and rounded hips\u2014have become distasteful. The body by which a woman feels herself judged and which by rigorous discipline she must try to assume is the body of early adolescence, slight and unformed, a body lacking flesh or substance, a body in whose very contours the image of immaturity has been inscribed. The requirement that a woman maintain a smooth and hairless skin carries further the theme of inexperience, for an infantilized face must accompany her infantilized body, a face that never ages or furrows its brow in thought. The face of the ideally feminine woman must never display the marks of character, wisdom, and experience that we so admire in men.”<\/p>\n

\u201cFor what it\u2019s worth: it\u2019s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There\u2019s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you\u2019re proud of. If you find that you\u2019re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.\u201d<\/div>\n
