Shauna Rae is at the center of a controversy because she recently started dating a British traveler named Dan Swygart. Even though the couple seems to be having a good time together, most people on the internet don’t approve of their relationship.
Most people don’t have relationships that make them happy.
Shauna, who is now 23 years old, was a child when she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that stopped her from growing at the age of eight. Even though she is an adult, she looks like a child. Swygart, who is 26, said he didn’t care about how she looked and suggested that other people do the same.
He talked about why he was doing it.
As soon as you say that she can’t have a real-world connection with someone else, you dehumanize her. She is a human being. She deserves to have relationships and connections with whoever she wants.
The traveler said this on an Instagram reel after reading several comments that were negative about their relationship.
Dan thought that Shauna was a very nice person.
People believe it to be suspicious.
Swygart was called a creep because he was seen hanging out with Shauna. People think that he shouldn’t be interested in dating Shauna because she looks like a child, and they say that there is something wrong with him if he likes her because of how she looks. People think that because she looks like a child, she shouldn’t be a romantic interest.
How They Met
Dan also talked about how the two of them met, on the reel. He said that he had seen the first season of her show, “I Am Shauna Rae,” and thought that she was an amazing woman. Then he contacted her, and they went on their first date. Even though they don’t know each other very well yet, Dan shows up in the second season of the show. This is because they are still getting to know each other.
Is there a possible future?
During the course of the show, Shauna and Dan go on several dates together, and it seems like they enjoy being with each other. Even so, Shauna is adamant that she doesn’t want to date Dan long-distance because he lives in the United Kingdom.
I haven’t actually really thought about if Dan and I were in a relationship and how that would look,
Shauna explained.
Dan came all the way over from the UK to see her.
His Answer To The Hate
A few days after his first post, Swygart made a second one in which he talked about the mean comments and messages he had gotten because he was dating Shauna. He went on to say that he was disgusted by the people who thought she wasn’t ready for a real, mature relationship because of her disability. Dan also thanked those who have been supportive of him.
He Received Some Support
A follower wrote:
as a person with Dwarfism thank you so much for standing up for her and our community. 👏 The close minded people will continue to be close minded. I wish they would just go live their lives and let others live there’s. Wishing everyone the best in your life paths,
while others continued to criticize Dan’s point of view.
“How Dare You Take Away Her Right?”
She is careful around the men who want to date her.
Shauna has said that she knows the kind of man who might be interested in her, but she can turn them away and, as she has said, looks for red flags in potential relationships. She said that her parents had told her about all of this when she was very young, and ever since then, she has been careful when dating a new man.
Her Failed Love Experiences
This is not the first time on the show that Shauna has thought about having a romantic relationship. At the beginning of the previous year, a matchmaker set her up on a date with a man named Abraham. However, there was no chemistry between them that could lead to anything more than a friendship.
Her Date With Thomas
On another occasion, Shauna went out with Thomas, a man (20) who also has pituitary dwarfism. Shauna was happy with how the date went, and she told her date that she liked comparing and contrasting the two of them and that she was glad she didn’t have to talk about her health condition.
Shauna Wants To Be Independent
People often mistake Shauna for a much younger girl than she is. Even though she points out all of her piercings and tattoos when someone doesn’t believe her, most people still think she’s lying. Shauna’s goal is to be able to take care of herself, so she is taking driving lessons and managing her money on her own. All of this and more is talked about on her reality TV show.
