Well, I wouldn’t say this is equivocal to average teen anxieties since no matter how you slice it “I feel the need to undergo extreme body modification because being seen in public terrifies me” is not a normal reaction to regular old body image issues or social worries.So in short, this is just a woke version of being worried about yourself that every teenager (but especially girls) go through? God, I hope so, because in that case then they'll all grow up and realize that unless given a reason to do otherwise, they'll be just another person to the public at large. Most people, let's face it, worry about themselves the most of all.
On the downside, though, these are the same people who constantly post on social media all the time, so their self-image is distorted by the Tumblr/twitter echo chamber. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if those communities and their cliqueish attitudes were a big reason why some of these people are so anxious about their public perception even though Joe Normal across the street could really care less.
I’d more equate it to girls that develop eating disorders for similar reasons, except now because of its LGBT status being used as a shield it’s not looked into as much.
