"'It's about becoming what I want to become. Not what some surgical committee thinks I should.'" -p93
Shay implies that she cannot be herself if her looks are determined by someone else but aren't her looks already determined by some greater force? At first glance it seems she is being noble in denying the surgery but, in fact, she is part of a bigotry towards the pretties, just as they harbor bias against the uglies. Is it possible for there to exist a state where looks are not a category of judgment?
