5. Not too many years ago, people would never address topics like this in public.

I know that sounds impossible, but it's true. People with unformed/differently formed parts, different bodies, etc., were to be kept out of public view, shunned, shamed. Any devices/prosthetics were "flesh" colored, which matched no one's actual skin tone, and were to be camouflaged and never spoken of.

I am so happy this kid chose bright green and has no shame, because no one should ever have shame over being different in any way. Fantastic! Times have changed so much even in recent years.
