Body positivity arose as a necessary corrective to this toxicity. Rooted in the fat acceptance movement of the 1960s, it argues that all bodies, regardless of size, shape, or ability, deserve dignity and respect. Its core tenet is that a person’s worth is not contingent upon their adherence to a physical ideal.
