Height: 5'3
Weight: 165lbs

I made beautiful babies with my body.

Name: Reneta Prescott

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 175lbs

Ability:  I'm disabled, but I can still play guitar, keyboard, and sing.  Moreover, the thing that makes me happiest about my body is that all it took was hormones for it to change in a way that made me happy with it.  It's not perfect in any way like society would dictate, but feeling I have ownership over what happens to it makes me happy.

My name is Danyell Melazi, I'm 6'4 and due to illness currently 103lbs. I am a trained Capoeira fighter and hold a brown cord. I have been in tournaments since I was 11 years old.

Here's another one from Donna!

My name is Donna. 

I am 5'3" and 125 lbs (57kgs).

I can run, swim, and control a dog strong enough to knock down a grown man.

Enough of the shaming.

I started this blog after I saw a grossly body-negative headline accusing several women of having 'bodies gone too far'. This is nothing new, but this was the icing on the cake for me. The cover shamed both athletic women for being too muscular, thin women for being too thin, and then two medium sized women for showing ribs. This was a breaking point not just because it was inappropriate, but because it crystallized for me the logical conclusion of pop culture's attitudes to women's bodies: that there is no right body. It's wrong to be thin, it'r wrong to be fat, it's wrong to be muscular and now it's wrong to be medium sized. There is no such thing as a good body, only an endless list of bad ones. 

I say: enough. Let's appreciate bodies for what they can do, not endlessly shame them for being less-than-perfect ornaments.
