These are the types of insults people with disabilities are used to hearing
Everyone has different body shapes, but associating these body characteristics as unworthy has been the stigma for awhile
You're not attractive if you look like "that"
"Love your body" ---- but not that body "Strong women, girl power" --- but only if you're the right type of woman
Accepting our body means accepting all our body including "disabled" parts
Our bodies should be celebrated for our strength, journey and diversity
Need to change mindset about internalized ableism
When a disabled person believes they are less worthy due to their disability and act accordingly
Other symptons include: Unable to accept disability, and then eventually anxiety and depression
For some individuals working out is extremely difficult and aren't obese by choice
Women and men may have self-confidence of their body but have to deal with notions of ideal beauty to sexually attract someone
Often those who have disabled bodies are judged on what a relationship could be like with them
The media's idea of masculinity often damage self-esteem of disabled men
Need to start normalizing disabled bodies
How valuable all bodies are and teach self-love
