I've been exploring body positivity communities online, and I've noticed something that bothers me. Many of them seem to focus primarily on certain body types while excluding others. It's like they've created new standards of what's "acceptable" rather than truly embracing all bodies.
I'm looking for body positivity communities that genuinely include and celebrate all body types - not just ones that are currently fashionable in body positive spaces. This includes people who are underweight, people with disabilities, older bodies, and bodies that don't fit any particular category.
What I've found so far either focuses heavily on midsize and plus-size bodies (which is great, but not comprehensive) or becomes so academic that it loses the personal, supportive element.
Has anyone found body positivity communities that truly practice what they preach about all bodies being worthy of respect and celebration? I'm especially interested in communities that understand intersectionality and how body image intersects with other aspects of identity.
I'm open to any platform, but prefer spaces with active moderation to keep out trolls and maintain a truly supportive atmosphere.
