Meaning
The line reads as a sharp defense of difference, turning rejection back on the person doing the judging. It can be taken to mean that individuality is not a flaw to be punished, and that envy or discomfort often says more about the critic than the person being criticized. It lands in moments of social pressure, when someone is being singled out for not fitting in.
