Posts like this are wonderful. I completely agree that you don’t need a thigh gap to be beautiful, but you can still be beautiful with one. But, if you’re trying to make an anti-thigh gap post, please please please for the love of God, do not showcase your own thigh gap. Just think about how you’re making people without thigh gaps feels by telling them that they don’t need one by dangling your own in front of their faces.I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with having a thigh gap, I have a thigh gap, but you cannot tell people to be happy without something if you don’t know how you feel without it. That would be like a healthy person telling me that my chronic illnesses are blessings. You don’t know that. Sure, my life wouldn’t be what it is if I were completely healthy, but unless you’ve gone through what I go through, you can’t possibly tell me it’s okay to feel a certain way about it. Yes, it is perfectly okay to feel beautiful without a thigh gap, you really should, but until I know what it’s like to not have a thigh gap, I am not going to tell you that you should be happy without one, only that I want you to be. So please, just think twice before you make one of these posts while showcasing what you’re telling other people they don’t have to have. That is all.
