Body Neutral Quotes

“It’s also about stripping away fantasies—like the fantasy that we live in a fair and equal meritocracy, and everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and overcome their own oppression if they try hard enough. There are very real consequences to looking a certain way in our society, and we must acknowledge those consequences, both as a means to understanding and healing our own individual body image issues, and as a means to building a more equitable and just society so that future generations don’t have to fight the same battles.”

“Idefine body neutrality as the practice of approaching your body through a clear, unbiased, and impartial lens, attempting to see and deal only with what’s objectively true in the moment, without moral judgment, interpretation, projection, added meaning, or undue significance.”
