IN THIS AIRBRUSHED, thigh gap-obsessed world, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes a real human body.
That’s why women have started posting pictures of their ‘imperfections’ using the hashtag #ThighReading, comparing the lines on their thighs to the lines on their palms.
They’ve been showing off their stretch marks…
Whoops!

Scars…

Some women said they had never seen stretch marks on another woman before the hashtag began:

One woman told Mashable that she felt her “stretch marks told a story the same way I had been told my palms did”.
I truly believe that when you post a picture of your stretch marks, acne, body hair, belly rolls etc, you are not only celebrating yourself, but celebrating every girl who has ever felt like her imperfections define her. I post my pictures for me, but mostly for her.
