Body neutrality

The sculpture of two women in bronze, Jag tänker på mig själv – Växjö ( 'I am thinking of myself – Växjö') by Marianne Lindberg De Geer, 2005, outside the art museum of Växjö, Sweden.

The concept of body neutrality encourages the mindset that a person's bodily appearance, and attitudes towards it, should have the least possible effect on their experience of life. Its proponents assert that people should neither be celebrated for their conformance with an ideal of bodily beauty nor criticized for departure from such a condition. It may be contrasted with body positivity, the fat acceptance movement, lookism, and body shaming. Some explanations of the body neutrality concept emphasize a body's functionality over its aesthetics.
