Amber Tamblyn questions getting plastic surgery as a preteen despite being a 'fiery young feminist'
Fox News
Amber Tambyln revealed she had her ears pinned back when she was 12 after kids made fun of her at school, and questioned if she should have succumbed to pressure.
At the time, she considered herself a "fiery young feminist who raged against the patriarchy," but also questioned her own hypocrisy in succumbing to criticism and changing her body for the sake of someone else's ideals of beauty. "But it wasn’t until landing my first major role on a TV show at age 12 that I opted to undergo ear-pinning surgery, a decision I’ve never made public until now."

"As a little girl I had ears that stuck out like big butterfly wings," she wrote. "Some kids at my school in Los Angeles would make fun of them, and I’d often stare at myself in the mirror wishing my ears would lay flat against my head."
