These People Are Embracing Their Unique Physical Traits

The great thing about human beings is that no two of us are the same. Everyone is unique in their own way, but some people wear their eccentricities more visibly than others. The people on this list all have some kind of physical trait that most other humans don't. They could be self-conscious about those differences, but why sulk when you can celebrate?

They took to the internet to share their bodies with the world.
