Sure, many folks are "handicapped" by physical factors, and, unfortunately, for some it may even be pretty damn impossible. While I do feel very bad for them, this post isn't about them, but about the large number of people for whom passing is very possible.

The problem is that many don't try to be the very best that they can be, they settle for mediocrity

Yes, I bet with a crap ton of work, body shapers, hunting down the right tops and layering on makeup and spending a lot of time on maintaining wig, I could "pass." But I look great and feel great the way I dress. I have also seen many CDs who look great how they are and might "pass" better with more work but I don't think it would make them any more attractive. It's not settling for mediocrity, it's someone achieving their own level of happiness.

You want to win the prize you gotta stop whining, get off your butt and work at it.
Again, maybe they see "the prize" differently than you do.
