I believe that it is also wrong to attack people because of what you wear. The only difference between bein discriminated against for being a different color or sexual preference is that you can choose what you want to where. However there are some exceptions. Like poor people for example. They don't choose to wear rags just so they can keep somewhat warm. Yet if they are fortunate to go to school, they get harassed so much. Also some religions require that you wear special clothing. Again, I've some people and even very young kids get hassled for it.

hi Tyra, I think your "so what?" campaign is a fantastic one and you are so well-respected and have really helped tons of women and young girls to feel comfortable with themselves all across america, which is why I think you should do a show on body images and eating disorders among young women, it's truly a very serious issue and I think it would help a lot of people who are currently struggling with one.
