You can dye, color, cut, perm, straighten your hair. You can wear contact lenses in a multitude of colors. You can gain/lose weight, work out to become more muscular. You can have plastic surgery or find someone to dress you differently if you have trouble expressing yourself with clothing correctly, if that's the "look" you want to change.

When you dye your hair blonde, you become - a blonde. When someone tells you "you have beautiful blonde hair" you don't correct them and insist that it's actually a mousy brown. You thank them for appreciating this thing about you that YOU know that you changed. You don't feel obligated to tell THEM that you changed it.

When someone tells you that your blue eyes are exquisite, you don't correct them and tell them they're actually a brownish hazel. You thank them. Because you are under no obligation to tell them that you are intentionally representing yourself as someone with blue eyes, even though you aren't blue-eyed.

All these things about yourself that you can change, because you feel more "at home" in your own body when you make those changes. And hopefully no one makes fun of you, or thinks less of you, or hates you, or fears you, or avoids you, or tells everyone how horrible you are, just because you made a change about your body that gave you a good feeling about yourself.
