Perfection

Perfection. Societies obsession with it and our demand that it be everywhere, even in our children. More then just then perfection but normalcy. Anything "different" is treated with fear and must be wrong or because we did something wrong. 

When it comes to sexuality, gender and health "different" and "abnormal" are put in categories right/wrong, normal/abnormal. 

How we are born into this world will never been the ideal, we each have something that makes us unique and society has chosen which of these differences is ok and which isn't. How many parents decided to abort after finding out the baby isn't healthy? If there was a test to see if the child is LGBT how many would abort? 

Why can't society change its expectations instead of we the people playing God and acting like everyone is meant to be a circle  when in reality humans come in all shapes.

Instead of judging a human that is going through something you've never had to deal with try responding with love, empathy and kindness. 

Not everyone is born straight, the gender they were supposed to be, with the health or body you think is "ideal". We are all unique and it's time we celebrate the fact instead of playing "us" vs. "them".
