We need to do a better job of normalizing selfies by people - especially trans people - who aren't conventionally attractive, who aren't thin and well-defined and who don't even come close to fitting society's expectation of what someone of their gender should look like.

I'd like to see more selfies from trans women who look like me - fat and round and "too masculine" and unkempt.

So I'll start.
