18 People Who Will Reboot Our Perception of Body Standards
While we’re used to certain body standards, nature is much more creative and diverse than we would expect. We might not notice, but people whose bodies are different from what we see on magazine covers are all around us. With the world becoming more diverse and more people sharing their unique body features, it looks like it’s time to reboot our perception of “normal.”

Loads of Ehlers-Danlos people in these photos (pics 1 and 3 and the hitchikers thumb especially). Also the white fingers person has Raynaud's disease. These need medical follow up.
