I had one of those thoughtful moments the other day. I was talking with another CD about a friend. The discussion came up that she did not want to go on some of our outings especially public ones. The reason she finally gave was that she was concerned about her appearance. She is a beautiful girl, however she would be considered plus size, as well as is fairly tall. Both my friend and I pooh poohed her concerns and tried to encourage her to get out but no go.
Thinking about it latter I kinda pondered on it. Would I find it so easy to get out if I was in her shoes. If I was plus size and 6 foot 2 would I maybe feel more conspicuous of being seen in public? I am a firm believer in my heart that women are lovely in all sizes shapes and colors, (this includes all the transgender ladies).
Realistically however it feels easier in my head fitting in closer to a smaller female size. Going out in public can be tuff, but anything that makes u stand out even more can be an extra burden emotionally. I guess in many ways I'm not as brave as I thought. Thinking it over I hope it helps me be more sensitive to other girls and realize that some girls do have it easier ( in some way)than other simply based on there physical characteristics.
