It's crazy to think that the worst part about her condition, isn't actually her condition. It's how the world treats her.

[agamerin]

She could legit be a child actor without the restrictions of only being able to work a couple hours a day as a real child actor.

[mr.wilson]

I hope she never visits an anime convention

[cheezy]

This is what the body positivity movement is supposed to be: accepting natural bodies that can’t be changed, and not making people with bad habits and bad lifestyles feel nice

[seanyoung]

I know a guy who has this same condition. He looks like he's 9 years old but I've known him for 30 years. The looks on people's faces when he hops down out of his customized Mercedes is always priceless.

[alternator]

I feel really bad for her, not being taken seriously all the time must be awful.

[freight]

Bless this woman. I hope she lives a long and happy life. It’s awesome she has that sense of humor and tries to focus on the upside.

“I know that my personality is rare” - beautiful moment, what a lovely woman.

My little brother had a rare genetic disorder called Bloom’s syndrome. He was 31 when he passed away (29 days ago) and was 4’5 and 60 lbs. I understand this young woman’s struggle, my brother was often treated as less than, not capable, had his intelligence questioned, talked down to, etc but he never let it stop him. He lived a full life and a normal life. I miss him so much

[smitha]

I feel bad for the fact that a grown man really won't be able to love on her in public without judgement and possibly getting in trouble.😭😭😭😭

[JustinTyme]

Very sad yet inspiring. She seems like a very nice young lady.

[LEFTBASS]

The way the dad looks at and comforts her mom when she starts getting emotional is the purest thing I’ve ever seen

[christiandelozier]

You can tell by how she speaks and articulates her words that she's a grown woman.

[AnimeOtakuDrew]

I feel bad for her, but at the same time i feel tremendous respect for her strength. To have been through so much and still have that kind of hope and positivity, she truly is an amazing woman. I hope that she will finally get the acceptance she deserves.

[Dutch]

You could literally break some laws and run straight into a school and not be found.

[djgoodot]

The age itself is setting in and it shows and it’s unfair, she seems like a genuine person all around, and being picked on by bullies and everything her whole life is a whole different level…. I think she’s awesome, needs more love and positive reinforcement from anyone and everyone…

[Mindgoblin]

The fact that she can smile, laugh and genuinely enjoy her life as much as possible, despite how the world treats her; is truly amazing.

[TheNotoriousKID]

I hope she lives a long and fulfilling life.. she’s gonna be the youngest looking 80 year old the world will ever see.

[grandinquizitor]

Her dating life must be terrible. No man is going to feel safe with in this wicked society because of her condition. Then she having to constantly explain herself to keep him from getting hurt by people thinking he's molesting a child. This is terrible for her. Wow!

[profoundclarity]

When she said at 16 her world shattered....my eyes filled up and let out this liquid of empathy....my heart hurts....
