Had cause to look through some old photos and I'd very much like to slap and/or hug my past self regarding their periodic crippling insecurity over their body and looks.

Mainstream beauty culture (for all gender presentations, no opt outs, sorry) is a toxic miasma that can envelop you even if you try to escape from participating in it.
