A 39-year-old US woman was born with the Freeman Sheldon syndrome, a genetic bone and muscular disorder that is characterized by joint deformities and abnormalities of the head and face. She has shared a selfie daily for a year after an online troll said that she was ‘too ugly’ to post photos of herself. The troll targeted Melissa Blake after she wrote an anti-Trump op-ed. “With each selfie, I felt more comfortable in my own body,” she said.
During the last round of trollgate, people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. So I’d just like to commemorate the occasion with these 3 selfies… ???? pic.twitter.com/9ZuSYFOtwv
