The notion that those who fall outside of Eurocentric standards of beauty (think Black, fat, trans, etc.) are less attractive is a message that is transmitted daily from multiple external forces or social institutions. Body liberation is about finding actual freedom in our bodies, through finding strength and the aspects of fitness that work for YOU. It's to understand that at our essence we are so much more than our bodies. But it's also about recognizing the harsh realities that prohibit some people from being able to do that.
