"I am proud to finally be able to share the news, that I am involved with the ground-breaking series Naked Education, created by Betty TV and commissioned by Channel 4, The series aims to overcome stereotypes of body types and body image, celebrate body diversity and experiences, and generate body positivity along the way. I will be talking about being transgender, going through gender transition, discussing phalloplasty, and showing my naked body."

#Lalaland.ai and generative #AI are here being used by Levis & others to avoid hiring diverse models. It’s a way to avoid hiring PoC. But it’s also a way to avoid hiring #FatModels.
#Fatshion matters. #BodyDiversity matters.
This is an #Intersectional problem. See also: #SabrinaStrings.

Sinead O'Dwyer darüber, warum #BodyDiversity Castings auf der #Fashion Week zur Norm werden müssen "viele Menschen mir gegenüber über ihren Körper erwähnt haben, wie sie ihren Körper als „falsch“ betrachteten, weil sie zu bestimmten Kleidungsstücken nicht passten"🧥👖👗👕👚👠🥾🥻

@nikkibuschedit Thank you. ❤️
It was important to write a character who *could* look like me, without any of the self-loathing so many #fat characters have. She’s unashamed of her size, and unaffected by how others see her.
And it was important for me to write a love interest who loves her *for* her body (without being weirdly fetishy about it). To him, she’s this perfect package of looks, intelligence and talent.

Lovely #manuscript feedback:
“…one thing that came to mind on my drive to work is that I love how NATURAL Naya’s #fatness is. Yes, it’s mentioned how she’s been treated poorly because of it. But when you write her descriptions, there is so much love and appreciation and care given to that. It’s not often we as #fat people feel like our fatness is NORMAL and deserves a loving caress. And your words give that!”

❤️😭

I follow all these amazing #illustrators & #artists on the socials and am so sad to see how so many of their original characters are thin.

There is absolutely no reason why you can’t have a fat love interest in a fantasy comic about WEREWOLVES. Fat people are real. Werewolves and vampires are not. As much as I wish I could have a threesome with them.

I can't imagine what my teen or I would look like in any of @ZARA 's clothes this season because every single model on their website is the same exact shape. No variation. #bodydiversity

As I should be making a PowerPoint about cultural hierarchies I thought this would be a good time to talk a bit about my other main #activism alongside #neurodiversity.

I am talking about #bodydiversity and the idea of dismantling the pathologization of body type. I have decades of lived experience on this from obstetric violence to everyday life in my body.

I could trauma dump for days about it all but I try to talk about the systems of oppression here instead 1/
