i think part of the reason this doesnt get talked about is that people are often more concerned with telling people “oh youre not ugly! everyone is beautiful!” instead of “your worth shouldnt be determined by how conventionally attractive you are” which like. is well intentioned but misses the point entirely. obviously not everyone is conventionally attractive–thats as obvious as the fact that some people look different from other people. the issue is that when someone isnt conventionally attractive, theyre considered lesser for it, which shouldnt be the case!
