No Ears Or A Jaw - But I Still Found Love - BORN DIFFERENT

No Ears Or A Jaw - But I Still Found Love - BORN DIFFERENT

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
24-YEAR-OLD Katelynn has a rare condition called Treacher Collins syndrome, which affects facial development. For Katelynn, that meant she was born without a jaw, which in turn resulted in her tongue blocking her airway - so doctors acted quickly and fitted a tracheostomy to enable her to breathe. She was also born without ears and wears a hearing aid - but Katelynn has always dealt with her symptoms and remained fiercely independent. However, the judgement she received from other children growing up was a real challenge for her - she was stared at, laughed at, pointed at and peers called her names like frog or alien. At its head, Katelynn no longer wanted to go to school. At the age of 10, though, Katelynn discovered a passion for dancing, which became an outlet for her and still is to this day: Dancing is my way of letting things go and letting things out of my system instead of screaming or punching walls. 14 years on, Katelynn has taken her captivating routines to TikTok, where she went viral overnight - something she accredits to her boyfriend of two years, Montre, who initially suggested sharing her talent with the world. Katelynn also acknowledges how significant his support has been, as she has faced nasty comments remarking on her facial difference in response to her videos. Montre told truly: I feel like they've got too much time on their hands. We kind of just look at it like 'OK, you want to be negative. Is there anything better you can do with your life' Through many years of finding dating to be daunting, Katelynn had never met a guy like Montre and with him now by her side, she has the confidence to defy anyone who seeks to bring her down: The relationship that I have now, it makes me feel good. I don't feel like I have a condition, I don't feel like I'm any different, I don't feel any less of a human. I'm in my own place, I'm living life, doing what I've got to do. If you're worried about what I do, keep watching!

Dance can be an empowering way to communicate, express yourself & deal w/feelings, whether others get it or not. She's a very talented dancer, & I'd guess they can't do 1/2 what she can. They're an amazing couple who seem to truly connect & understand each other. I loved to dance, but my disability took it away. I bet the good msgs outweigh the cruel, & not worth your time.

She actually can dance though, and her personality is infectious. As a child I was the one who embraced other children with deformities or disabilities I've always gravitated towards them because I knew that others didn't care for them because of their condition and she is certainly one I'd have made a long time friend out of.

I love this story! I hope people learn from it. They are both beautiful people who found love together. Perfect love story. I love the way she dances too. Reminds me of my daughter. Thanks for sharing your story. It's a beautiful one. And that tree she had in the corner of her bedroom! Wow! . I need that in my bedroom! .

Don't pay attention to negative pp! Remember even the most physically attractive people on social media have haters! It's all about the love and compassion which you surround yourself with!

I see a Lovely couple having a great life, I also see keyboard trolls that don’t have a life other than sitting alone and typing unnecessary spiteful comments, they are the ones with a sad life, you go girl you are some mover and inspiration, keep living your great life together and stay happy,

I don't know why we live in such a cruel world. Beauty comes in so many different packages and girl you are beautiful. I'm so glad that you found your truth and that you live it everyday. I'm happy for your happiness. If everyone could just be happy for everyone else. The world would be great

This woman looks different and has medical challenges because she was born with a condition and she’s making the best of it. Why make fun of her The bullies are probably just jealous because they don’t have a happy relationship. They should all just wait and grow up.

What an awesome dancer. The universe gives everyone something but not everything.
I used to think that colourism, featurism and racism were the worst kinds of prejudices. Not any more. All prejudice and discrimination hurts.
Best wishes to them. .

Kids are cruel, I got picked on in school forever but adults should never pick on someone for what they look like! I think you’re a beautiful person and I’m glad you found love! I have a wonderful husband who loves me very much, without criticism
reply

They make an adorable couple! He’s right these ppl with their negative comments are miserable and just want to make anyone diff miserable 2! But obv this didn’t work!
I hope she continues to make her vids & just be happy!

At times it is hard to believe that there are men out there who are as understanding as he is, but there are. And it makes me believe that I will meet that man one day as I have autism and struggle with dating.
reply

But why are people so mean, especially the one that sent her a frog emoji on Tik Tok. Like if you have nothing positive to say about this young lady, just watch and pass. All that matters is, she is happy.
reply

As a black woman that hear black guys telling black women they are ugly and unworthy. Hot diggity damn Ladies just mind your business. Lovely couple though. Just ignore the guys and keep doing you.
reply

I wonder if not having ears affects her hearing. She seems to be able to hear, and certainly is an articulate speaker, which also makes me think she can hear. Just sincerely wondering how that works.
reply

They look like a sweet couple and she's a great dancer. I'm glad you found love as I know it's hard and affects you mentally/emotionally when. You're different as well. Sending love to you guys
reply

She is a super cool person! Dancing is so healing. She is a great dancer too. Confidence is a huge part of dance. Her boyfriend is a seems super supportive too! How beautiful!
reply

Honestly, it feels like they're jealous because they know what they look like inside. Remember Ignis Aurum Probat. Fire Tests Gold. The trials we face on Earth perfect our faith.
reply

People who sent her the toad emoji are just miserable people and don't know how to be happy because they don't love themselves. She is the definition of self love!
reply

What an awesome couple! Super inspiring. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world! I hope to see a lot more of the both of you being happy and enjoying your lives!
