Shauna Rae, is the star of the reality show “I Am Shauna Rae”, where she is in the second season and tells how Shauna lives with the appearance of an 8-year-old child, due to stunted growth due to brain cancer treatment. Today, aged 23, Rae weighs 50 kilos and measures 1 meter and 20 centimeters.
Because of these characteristics, the young woman feels excluded by the majority, except for her boyfriend, the 26-year-old travel blogger Dan Swygart, who he has recently posted many photos enjoying his relationship with Rae and received a lot of criticism, precisely because of her appearance appearing to be of a child.
Dan's Answer
“It's really important to remember that Shauna is an amazing 23-year-old woman who has a disability,” said Dan.
He also spoke a little about her relationship with Rae, "So, as you're building a connection with her, it is important to recognize her disability and look at, moreover, build her with who she is like individual.".
Dan hit back at the criticism, pointing out how those people who are criticizing his relationship with Rae are being prejudiced in regarding her girlfriend status: “As soon as you say she can't have a real-world connection with someone else, you dehumanize her. She is a human being. She deserves to have relationships and connections with whoever she wants.”
