Beautiful Down Syndrome Underwear Model is Driving Men Nuts
The story of Sofia Jirau.
I immediately knew something was off.
I’d gone on Instagram — a shallow hellhole I try to avoid. It’s mostly thirst traps and people trying to look like they’re on an eternal vacation. I still contend it’s the most superficial of all platforms.
Even when I’m going to look up an animal video I forgot the name of, Instagram shoves a row of glistening butts in front of me, my head spins, and I forgot why I was there to begin with.
On this day, a young lady in a bikini appeared on my feed. She was smoking hot. But who cares? It’s typical Instagram. Then, I paused, noticing her eyes.
And realized, “Holy cow! She has Down syndrome!” I felt this brief jolt, a strange existential crisis.
“What does it mean…to be attracted to a woman with Downs?”
“Am I perverted?”
And it was totally ableist of me. She’s gorgeous, hands down. And her name is Sofia Jirau. It turns out — she’s the first Down syndrome…
