positivity

Body positivity is a social movement that promotes a positive view of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities. Proponents focus on the appreciation of the functionality and health of the human body instead of its physical appearance.
While body positivity has been connected to a number of beneficial effects on both the individual and societal level—not least concerning its modern-day branches in digital and social media—critical scholars have also warned that, in practice, the concept still suffers from a strong focus on physical attributes and self-objectification. Accordingly, the concept of body neutrality has been suggested as a theoretical update, strictly disregarding the discussion of physicality in favor of size inclusivity and self-care.
