I believe that mistreating anyone who’s different is terrible. People can’t help whether or not they’re different. People can’t all be exactly alike, and if we were, then the world would be a very dull place. People should never be mistreated due to their race, religion, weight, gender, or appearance. That’s why I believe that treating people with odd medical conditions such as Hypertrichosis is just as bad as being racist, sexist, and/or prejudice. It’s terrible that people with this condition were locked in cages, treated like animals, and used as public entertainment.
Just because these people are different from you and me, it doesn’t mean that they deserve to be mocked and laughed at. It’s a tragedy when girls suffering from this condition may never get married, or if a little girl can only be respected after becoming famous, or if siblings admit that they spent most of their childhood locked in a cage. Hypertrichosis doesn’t make these people monsters, let alone werewolves; it just makes them special and unique. That is my view on the repression and cruelty that has been exhibited towards sufferers from Hypertrichosis.
