I stand with her because I was once that chubby little girl. I can vividly recall the hurtful comments directed at me, the taunts, and even the ice ball that struck my face—all reminiscent of the rhetoric we’ve seen from certain public figures. At the time, I remained silent, wishing desperately that no one would notice. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself; I felt the need to be wittier, smarter, and kinder to deflect the negativity aimed at me.
The most painful realization was that I internalized these insults, believing I was a “fat, disgusting pig.” As children, we are taught to accept the words of others as truth, and I did just that. Now, as an adult, I am fortunate to have a daughter who means the world to me. She deserves far better than a man who embodies cruelty, misogyny, and ignorance. Young men need role models who exemplify strength and respect, not someone who resorts to name-calling and derision.
Tonight, I asked her if she would like to be president one day. Who knows? Maybe she will be.
