Book excerpt: With illustrations from a number of artists, "Color Me Body Positive" seeks to encourage body acceptance and positivity, acknowledging just a few of the many challenges of embodiment, including size and fatness, race, gender, and age.What does "body positive" mean? Body positivity is about feeling good about your own body and other people's bodies. A related idea is body acceptance, which is about coming to peace with your body and other people's. Both are opposed to body policing, which is a way of forcing ideas of "correctness" on other people's bodies, and body shaming, which is a way of making people feel bad about the bodies they live in. Body positivity and body acceptance recognize and embrace the extraordinary diversity of people's bodies. Some bodies are fat, or gender non-conforming, or disabled, or short, or brown, or old, or hairy, or whatever - and all of that is fine! Lovely, even.
