Everybody has a unique body and body-type and the sooner the world realises that, the better, With models, fashion brands, and fashion magazines have set new standards for how women should look, many of us are left feeling conscious about how we look than how we are as a person.
The acceptance of one’s own body is the biggest victory one can have. Obviously, people will try to pull you down
Twitter user @iranikanjari was just having a normal day when she posted a stomach selfie of herself, but things didn’t turn out to be her way.

Many people took to body-shaming her for her hair on belly and it wasn’t nice
@iranikanjari maybe instead of buying walmart underwear you should buy a razor

Some people even put up pictures like these, suggesting that she would ‘look better’ if she shaved it

And called her names
@iranikanjari chewbacca
— Harry• (@ManIikeJuan) December 29, 2015
Just for your reference, this is how chewbacca looks like:
Gave her unsolicited advice
@iranikanjari it’s ok to be hairy but you don’t need to post that
— Aisha (@aisha_salem0) January 3, 2016
Again, and again
@iranikanjari shave pls
— Nadia ll thank u seb (@OLZANSKIBlEBER) January 3, 2016
But then there were also some who supported her for coming out of the body-shaming closet and accepting herself
@iranikanjari I’m so hairy and this makes me happy
— lieutenant dan (@pizzlezx) January 4, 2016
Including men
@iranikanjari and tbh this pic made me so happy to see b/c 1) I’m hairy and 2) there are sooo few ppl out here saying it’s okay to be hairy!
— marty (@MJiffar) January 5, 2016
Some even thanked her for this
@iranikanjari you can’t even imagine how happy it makes me to actually see a picture of a tummy that. is. actually. like. mine. ???

And some even made her, their idol immediately
This is my goal, I want to be as confident as you with my body hair. “@iranikanjari: walmart underwear vibes pic.twitter.com/CT8BQh0skI”
— Michael-Michelle ♡ (@AikoGrandeGomez) January 3, 2016
A few people also told her to never change, because obviously, there’s nothing like natural beauty
@iranikanjari I’m so happy that you’re happy in your natural form. Equality is very important, don’t let these negative comments change you.

And then there were some who neither cared, not were interested in her belly hair, but just couldn’t stop crying over their lack of hair
Belly button has fuller beard than me ? RT @iranikanjari: walmart underwear vibes pic.twitter.com/GIlZvCI2cH

@iranikanjari was so overwhelmed by the amount of support people were giving her that she posted a small video of her…
i had been meaning to do this pic.twitter.com/vowerytKHM

…to thank everybody who didn’t shame her for being herself.
Whether she shaves or not, or shaves and puts a pic or not, is really her business.
Just calm down people. It’s just hair. We all have it.
