Hilarious! This line in particular struck me:

    You’re not a little girl anymore—you’re turning into a full-grown collection of body parts that can be openly criticized or complimented by anyone at any time, irrespective of your wishes or desires

I once dressed as a woman for halloween, and even that was enough for strangers to start commenting on my body. What's up with that?

I don't mean to be rude or depressing, but it's not so hilarious when it's your life.

I'm sure anyone of either gender who has struggled with self-esteem issues gets it, and it's particularly poignant when other people remind you.

I meant it as "funny because it's true".
