Gina Rodriguez's Response To Being Told She's Not Skinny Enough Is Perfect

The actress wants to "throw the whole fat/skinny" thing "on its head."

Gina Rodriguez just became our body image hero.

The "Jane The Virgin" star recently appeared on HuffPost Live to share her thoughts on body image, and let's just say, she got real.

The 30-year-old actress, who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis last year, has talked about how the condition was an added challenge for an actress already dealing with pressure about her weight. For the Latina stunner, weight control has always been something she's had to deal with.

But to all those people who've told her she's not "skinny enough," Rodriguez simply says, "That's crazy!"

We couldn't agree more.
