There has been a growing movement for people to love their own bodies while also respecting others, regardless of their shape or size. Overall, I think the body positivity movement is great for the mental health and well-being of everyone. However, I have seen this thrown into the face of trans people for not loving the bodies they were born with. This is problematic at best and I wanted to share my personal view on this.
