Hi Celia,

It wasn't my intention to imply that Lizzo isn't attractive. In fact, based on my personal preferences for beauty, I think she's extraordinarily pretty. I just included the "thin, attractive" line in reference to the traditional (and backwards) standard of beauty that's mainstream and more widely accepted i.e. thin, fair skin and conventionally attractive. Bigger bodies are often scorned when held up against this standard. However, I completely disagree with this standard and think we should get rid of it as it serves no one.
