Hi Yassmin. I’m a 53 year old feminist Australian woman of colour, working in the arts, and a massive F1 fan from 2004 onwards. I’ve always been interested in what you have to say and your point of view. 😊

Thankyou for your writing in general and on this topic. I relate to your feelings of finding yourself alone when you thought you and your friends were not counting calories, and working together for a world that lets bodies be as they are in that moment.

As a contribution to your interest in your readers...When I describe myself as ordinary looking, someone will interpret that as a plea for compliment on some feature of mine "you have beautiful left ear lobe". I meant the conversation to go in a different direction....
