Disability body positivity
Am I the only one who gets a little annoyed with the body positivity phrases ‘You are not your body’? Like yes I am my body. My body dictates everything I do and everywhere I go and how I experience life. Its ok that I have these problems and I’ll love my body anyway but I want people to stop telling me that I can love myself in spite of my body. I am my disabilities they define me but its ok to love and celebrate my disabilities. I know this is something abled people probably don’t think about too much but it feels patronizing.
