Her future boyfriend is gonna have to be hoping she has total control of those....

Whereas I hope she comes to realise that people are people - all of them are unique. Also that she stops believing that people should be proud of things they had no control over. She has a legitimate reason to be proud - her own actions. Some people would have folded after having both hands amputated, but she carried on regardless and is living well. There's no reason to be proud of having the "right" skin colour, being the "right" sex, being injured by random chance or anything else you had no control over. It's wrong.

Also, those artificial hands are cool. I think she's right to move out of the uncanny valley of prosthetics that are too realistic and not realistic enough. Also to go on function over form. Functionality has its own beauty, anyway.
