I have a profound facial disfigurement that I'm incredibly hung up about...
Do I still have to get verified?

Very hard statement to respond to.
I feel sad that you suffer from feeling hung-up about it.
The weird thing is that 99% of women feel hung up about their appearances too,
even the ones most famous for their natural beauty.
There is something hideously cruel and wrong-headed about a culture that puts so much emphasis on people's physical beauty. It comes down to money. Feed the insecurities, make them desperate enough, and they'll cough up $100 for a tiny bottle of make-up or snake-oil that makes absolutely no difference, or $10,000 and go under the surgeon's knife.
Ridiculous.
The person who can't love you for who you are on the inside is not worth knowing.
