You ve likely heard of body positivity, but there s a lesser-known movement gaining traction: body neutrality.
Earlier this month, Lizzo called out the body positivity movement saying the term has been co-opted by all bodies and has become a trend of celebrating medium and small girls and people who occasionally get rolls. Fat people are still getting the short end of this movement, she said, adding we re still getting talked about, memed, shamed, but no one cares anymore.
Instead of preaching body positivity, some are practicing body neutrality. The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil shared her take on body neutrality with Glamour in 2019 saying, I don t think about my body ever. Imagine just not thinking about your body. You re not hating it. You re not loving it. You re just a floating head. I m a floating head wandering through the world.
