Trans influencer born with no limbs has defiant message for TikTok trolls

"“We live in a day and age when people can say anything they want behind a screen, but little do they know the effect is takes on the other person behind the screen,” she said. “Two years ago I would've been sobbing in my bathroom about comments that would be left on my page, to now where I'm like, 'Wait, no they're coming back and they keep coming back, they're fans and it's cute and they're paying my bills.' So I love that for me.”"

"She explained that the change in attitude came when she realised that she wasn't “the problem”. “Maybe they're hurt,” she suggested. “Maybe something happened to them. Maybe they just don't understand or are trying to be funny. “If that's what my page needs to be for them to take it out on, then go for it, because my big account is succeeding, so thank you.”"

"“I've never come across her before but she's beautiful inside and out and I do not understand how some people could be so mean, rude and nasty. We're all different in different ways ... I'm so glad she has taken the negative comments and turned them into positivity.” More blessings to her & her husband."

"Another said: “That's what I call wiping your tears with the money you make!”"
