"Butterfly Boy"

"Butterfly Boy" refers to a term often used to describe individuals born with a rare genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which affects connective tissues. The "butterfly" metaphor highlights the delicate, fragile nature of their skin and tissues, similar to butterfly wings. People with this condition may experience hyper-flexible joints, fragile skin that scars easily, and other physical challenges. The term emphasizes both their vulnerability and resilience, shedding light on their unique health experiences. It’s important to approach this topic with sensitivity, recognizing the individual beyond the condition.
