Dear Mathilde,
I think it's really brave of you to do that and stand up for yourself! You're super creative and I think a lot of people today see you as a role model. Hopefully there are more people in the world like you, who dare to be who they are.
Every person alive should see that as one of the most important lessons in life: 'be yourself and don't let anyone make you into someone else!
You were also a flight attendant, which shows how brave you are. You have made the most of yourself to have a good life.
