I met a person once with the same condition as you, Bree, and didn’t even notice it until she brought it up. I also have a close friend who is blind, though I haven’t spoken to him in a while.

Until people learn to be physiology-blind as well as colorblind, we’re never going to realize that people are just people.

hi i too was born with ectrodactyly which means i have 3 fingers on both hands and 2 toes on both feet and im proud of myself i love my hands and feet and i always will, yes i have been called names in the past but i finally got tired of it and told them GOD made me this way and im happy and theres nothing you can do or say to change that so deal with it and i’ve never been teased after that and now a days nobody even notices my hands and feet unless im talking about them or i put my hands on the table when im drawing and even then they ask me a few questions about it and i love answering them and after that its like the best feeling ever and i have NEVER hid my hands away from people i want them to see them so that they can see that just because i have less fingers and toes than you doesnt mean i cant do the same things as you can you and your kids are my inspiration and i thanks you guys every day as well as god

My husband still misses you on TV in San Diego. Today he asked about you, so that’s why I’m here.

Also my hands are red and peeling from psoriasis and so many people ask me what it is that I feel for you Bree. Our hands aren’t THAT bad. We can’t hide them and we are not contagious.

No matter what’s strange in one’s appearance, SO WHAT!

I met a little boy on the weekend who had Ectrodactyly, he was happy and playing. None of the other children took any notice of his hands or feet, or that he was different in any way. As a rehabilitation doctor I was looking at how functional his hands were and his mum said his only problem was keeping up with his twin brother when they were climbing things. Anyway, I was just hoping that his generation will grow up to see people as simply other people, regardless of physical differences.

We have become so rich we can afford to ruin ourselves. Oprah is just one of the countless ruined hearts in our society. The real hearts get fewer these days. I know what it is like to be cast aside but such stories need another place. I like your writing. And you and your children are always welcome in my heart. My world hasn’t much but my heart is open.

I was born the same as Bree and believe me all what she says on the subject, she’s right. Everyday we have to endure people like Oprah and the general public. The one’s that don’t do us any favours are the celebs who patronise us for their own ends/gains, even if from different cultures (me UK). Keep up the fight Bree x
