StopHatingYourBody a place of encouragement, a place to discuss body image, insecurities, self-esteem, and everything under the umbrella of fighting self-hate and finding self-love.
We aspire to hold space for groups that are under/misrepresented in media, to uplift the narratives and give attention to body positive folx, women,LGBTQIA+, people of color, people of different sizes, and people with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, mental illnesses. We aim to share images of non-photoshopped bodies, real images, real stories, real people.
To be body positive is a journey of self acceptance while advocating for and accepting our differences with others. Body positivity is for everyone; fighting self-hate and working towards self-love and acceptance of ourselves and others through resources, visibility, and discussion!

Happy excessive-but-hopefully-still-heartfelt shopping season! In the spirit of supporting our communities while you buy things for your loved ones, Autostraddle has compiled a massive list of LGBTQ-owned businesses to support while you shop. More info about how they were chosen:
The criteria for inclusion was as follows:
–Store must exist independently of Etsy (because once Etsy gets involved, this list becomes 2,000 miles long)
–Store must be an independent entity — as in; not just the merch store for a queer musician or a celebrity or a line of t-shirts for an event/magazine/etc. However, I made two exceptions to the “website merch store” rule for Autostraddle and for Everyone is Gay, because we are very close with the EIG like practically married. And because in theory, our stores could exist even if our websites didn’t exist.
–Store must offer products you can order online and have delivered to your home for you to hold in your hands. Goods, not services.Click the link above to see the list, and happy shopping!
