When almost all commercials glorify body parts...and bodily functions, I might add...the image of the body is distorted and the image in skulls full of mush (to borrow a phrase from Rush) is also distorted. No normal person can live up to the heavily made-up, air-brushed, photo-shopped, glorified perfection they see on a screen, but the attempt to do so never stops.

To many, male or female, surface beauty as it is portrayed is a non-obtainable goal and a constant failure to immature minds, whether judging themselves or someone else.

Personally, I think the dissatisfaction with what is seen in the mirror is what drives some people to think they must be in the wrong body.

I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder...or beer holder ;)...nut what passes for perfection today is just pathetic.

If I ever find myself attracted to supermodels that look like the boys high school swim team I’ll just go gay and save the trouble. And thats what most of todays ‘perfection’ looks like. Cindy Crawford/Elle McPherson/Linda Evangelista types are ‘put’ and board flat triathelete women are ‘in’.

Nope. I’ll pass.
