Not for me but each to their own, embrace the individuality I say!🧚💗🦾 #beige #authenticity

So I get this comment not that often, but enough that I want to address it. Let's talk about it while I decorate my arms with some flowers. Respectfully, I don't want beige arms. I've had beige arms, I've had the high-definition silicone arms with freckles, wrinkles, nails you can paint, but they didn't really work very well and they also just weren't me. It takes me back to the first time I was going in to receive a prosthetic. It was given to us and we were like, perfect, excited, what does it do, how do I make it work? And they said, oh no, it doesn't do anything, you just stick it on the the end of her arms and make her look more normal and get less stares in public. It was a thing to blend in, and it was the assumption that you'd want to. Everyone has their own opinions, of course, but for me, the day I had the choice to pick the colour of my arms and, you know, get to match them to my outfit, my life was legit made. Like, yes, I want to stick nails on my bionic arms and cover them in glitter, so I won't be spray painting them beige, but in fact adding more glitter.
