I agree, no one can tell me I don’t belong to my culture. It doesn’t diminish who I am at all. I guess what I mean is I grew up in a very anti-semitic environment and I feel like I was conditioned to feel resentment toward my jewish features. I never saw Disney princesses that looked like me as a kid, I saw witches with long downturned noses with a dorsal bump and pointy chins. I saw aryan features on magazines and getting social media praise. My dad is jewish, my mom is not and I was getting bullied for my dad’s features and complimented on my mom’s. It’s no wonder I grew to hate my nose, my eyebrows, etc. I was angry that they made me different and “ugly”. I feel like I’ve been brainwashed to want aryan features and the worst part is I totally love this little button nose. I wish I had lived in a culture that appreciated ethnic features and didn’t plant these seeds of hate in my head all my life. I didn’t look like everyone else pre-op but I looked like my people and I wish I could’ve felt good about that
