Repression and Cruelty to the "Wolf People"

The Aceves family aren't the only ones who have been mistreated due to their appearences. Supatra, or “Nat”; a Thai girl with hypertrichosis was taunted by peers at her Bangkok school and called names such as "wolf girl" and "monkey face." She was then crowned the “World’s Hairiest Girl” by the Guinness World Record Committee. Now Nat is no longer treated as an outcast and has gradually became popular and outgoing.
"There were a few people who used to tease me and call me 'monkey face' but they don't do it anymore," she said. "I am very happy to be in the Guinness World Records ... being hairy makes me special."

Marco Frigatti, from the Guinness World Record Committee, described Supatra as a "remarkable little girl".
"She's proud of who she is and wants to be treated just like everyone else," quoted Mr Frigatti. "She's not the one with the problem; it's only those who treat her differently who've got the problem."

Several rounds of laser treatments have been unsuccessful for Supatra, who hopes one day to be a teacher or doctor and help find a cure for the condition.
"It [the hair] does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long. I hope I will be cured one day," Supatra said.

Nat is a beautiful young girl who doesn't deserve to be mistreated for her appearence. It's sad when this young lady is only noticed after her newfound fame. She deserves to be treated like an ordinary person, just like any other sufferer from Hypertrichosis.
