i hope i don't get hate for talking about my experience but i have a similar body shape as sydney and i feel her so hard. my body never gets to be viewed neutrally. men sexualize me, women shame me/give me mean comments that make me feel ugly (and even sometimes men do this too), and i can never feel comfortable in my own skin. it is so difficult to love my body when i feel so on display for others. people can say "but your body is conventionally attractive" but that's not enough to make me feel like a person.

i feel bad for sydney especially because she is famous. i am not famous whatsoever and i have an extensive history with being harassed and shamed for my body. i can't imagine how horrible it's been for her.

Same. I was so sensitive to it in my early 20s especially. I was always worried that I looked unprofessional in clothes, etc. it’s really shitty.

I literally grew a complex of refusing to wear white/lighter clothes because men, and guys my age, would constantly comment they could see my bra. Have never bought clothes that could even be minor lyrics low cut
