A woman with severe acne has taken a stand against trolls who branded her “a man” and demanded her photo be published with a trigger warning. Shauna Murdie has suffered from the skin condition since she was 15.
The 22-year-old agriculture student, from Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, has been abused over her gender, sexuality and skin. She was called “disgusting”, “dirty” and that she shouldn’t be allowed to post her face online without warning.
But Shauna, whose acne is down to high levels of testosterone, has fought back by telling her own story on social media. She has amassed more than 9000 followers and had more than one million views on her reels since she started sharing her story in May 2020.
