Honestly, body positivity wasn't a bad thing initially. It just got taken over by loons. I do think the message of it is something young people (men and women) need to hear. Like there's nothing wrong with having a slightly odd nose or a prosthetic.

Now the message seems to be "change it change it change it and we'll charge you! Look how you want right now" I really think it's damaging to mental health. Not to mention physical health when things go wrong (or even when things go right) only to be told "the next one will fix it". We're supposed to AVOID that attitude ffs. Especially when it's minors having major surgeries. That's a hard no from me considering the amount of people that desist it just seems way better to wait for adulthood (preferably 25 for the brain to have settled into adulthood, but that's me living in a fantasy land)

Look how you want right now

Yup, Pharma companies don't make any profit off of "take a few years to learn to like the person you are". Happy people spend a lot less money trying to distract themselves than damaged ones do.
