Body positivity endures as slimming trends rise with GLP-1 era
A Axios piece argues the body positivity movement remains vital even as a GLP-1–driven slimming trend and celebrity focus dominate media, risking a return to thin-ideal norms. Experts warn this creates a two-tier world where access to medical weight interventions shapes self-perception and mental health, while activists emphasize reframing GLP-1s as disease-treating tools rather than vanity products. The fight for body diversity is framed as a social-justice issue that remains ongoing despite changing trends.
