I can't believe I have to say this, but beauty is a positive attribute. And yeah, some of it is genetic - just like intelligence, kindness, compassion, and all the other traits that people are telling us we should value instead. Some of it is self-work - again, just like the other traits we might value instead.
As a result, I consider it arbitrary to dismiss someone's beauty, particularly if they've had to work hard to get it, but even if they're one of the lucky ones who didn't. But hey, nice humble brag there.
