Online, I do feel like I'm the more confident version of myself.
I think just taking, like, sexy pictures just makes me feel good.
I definitely enjoy having the other identity.
I kind of get to be, like, the other version of me.
I have a rare condition
which means with my left leg, I was born without a thigh bone
and when I was born, I was starved of oxygen,
so I'm hearing impaired, therefore I wear a hearing aid.
She has quite a hard life with the way that she looks
and how she feels because of her leg and also because of being deaf,
so I kind of feel like this gives her an opportunity
to like herself... Yeah. ..and show her sexy side.
If I was her, I feel like she should just stand there like that
with her skirt on or hot pants, with the leg fully out...
Yeah, definitely. And then just be like that.
Devon told me the other day that she'd been on a lot of dates
and they all were really quite nasty about her leg.
I'd been talking to this guy.
I think it was like a year
and like, he'd always wanted to meet.
We sat down on this bench
and then he told me he had to go to the toilet,
but he texted me and he said, "I've left.
"I've gone to the station now. Your leg is too weird for me to handle.
"I didn't realise it was going to be like that, like,
"it's really put me off."
Feels really, like, traumatic
and it just put me off, like, ever meeting anyone ever again.
I've found someone for you to meet, who's a girl
who has the same as you. Really?
She was born with no left hip or thigh bone, which is funny,
which is the same side as you, your left. Yeah.
She's a make-up artist. Oh. Really good.
She's quoted, "I just want to show you can have a disability
"and feel sorry for yourself, or you can accept it
"and get on with life," and that's kind of how we try and be, don't we?
Yeah. I know it's not always easy,
but that's kind of what I try and help you to do.
Mmm.
Are you OK?
I'm excited!
I mean, for Devon, it's all she's known, because she was born
that way and she's always coped pretty good, but I guess it gets
harder when you've got disabilities and stuff when you're older
and you're trying to live independently like
other people your age and you can't.
It always felt like I was the only one, like, in the whole world.
I mean, I knew I wasn't, but it just felt like I was.
So, yeah.
I'm happy, I'm excited.
Hi. Hi. Nice to meet you.
I was really nervous when I first met Yasmin. Like, what do I say?
When I saw your picture, I'm not going to lie, I just started crying,
I was like, "Oh, my God." Oh, no way. It was just amazing.
Because I've never actually met anyone with, like, PFFD before.
I know. It was just really exciting and a bit surreal.
It's 2019. People have disabilities
like people have different skin colours. Yeah.
Everyone's different in their own unique way and people should
not be, like, put in a corner for that or judged for that
or labelled as something because they're different.
Everyone's different.
You should think, "I was born with this and I'm bloody amazing,"
"like, look at me." Yeah. "You can't do this." Yeah.
I mean, do you put anything on your Instagram or anything like...?
Well, my mum just wants me to be, like, really confident
and out there and she just wants me to post loads of pictures
and just, like, show off my leg. Yeah.
I think she just wants me to be proud of myself.
As years are going on, it is, people are becoming more aware of it,
like, we're not aliens.
It was absolutely amazing to meet Yasmin.
It just almost felt like, for me,
like I was meeting a long-lost sister or something.
I'm hoping that this is the start of me being, like, a spokesperson
and I'm just ready to go out there and, like, flaunt my stuff
and work it and twerk it.
Take a step to your right.
Doing the dance. You like it?
If someone told me like, three weeks ago that
I would be doing this photo shoot I'd be like, "No, definitely not."
That was cool.
It just made me feel a bit more positive about my disability,
like you know, I don't have to hide it and it's, you know,
it's good to just be out there.
It was amazing. I feel emotional!
Oh, Devon!
Oh! What's going on?
THEY SCREAM
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, Jo!
I'm so proud of you and what you've done
now that you can see that people will accept you.
I want to do more and you know, just show myself
and be proud of who I am and my disability.
Group hug! Come on, everyone!
