When I heard this news I felt like vomiting. My stomach curled up in a ball and twisted itself up, and I had to take a moment to compose myself. Some may find this odd seeing as I don't even know this person.
However, if you've ever looked at a picture and thought "Wow, that person looks like they could be a friend of mine.", then perhaps you'd understand. Have you ever looked at a picture of a stranger and been reminded of a dear friend, relative, or loved one? Whenever I see a modified person, I get that feeling of connection. It's a connection that I've experienced in very few communities, but one that I hold dear to my heart.
*Sigh* I hope whoever caused so much pain is made to pay . . . it sickens me just thinking about this.
meow:
That's terrible. I hope whomever did this gets caught and pays for it.
