Shauna Rae Stands Strong Against Trolls Judging Her Dwarfism (7/20)

Shauna is uncertain about having children, worried they might face bullying or judgment due to her condition, and she doesn’t want them to feel pressured by that burden.

“I don’t know if I want to bring a kid into this world and be like, ‘This is the situation you have to deal with. And it’s not your fault; you don’t actually have to live with it, but because I’m your mom, you have to put up with it and stand up for me.’ 

“That’s a lot of pressure for a kid. It was a lot of pressure for me growing up.”

Growing up, she watched one of her brothers, Shawn, go through that situation. “He would have to deal with people dealing with me. And it’s not fair. I don’t think it would be fair to my child. I don’t want to put that pressure on someone who doesn’t even know what life is.”
