Court reviewed The Body is Not An Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor
Review of 'The body is not an apology' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I thought this was going to be a mediation guide with breathing exercises geared toward accepting fat bodies. Instead, it names the idea of the "default body" and discusses how any bodies that don't fit that idea are maligned and at risk because of body terrorism. This connects race, sexuality, transness, ability, fatness, etc. as how they measure against the default body and posits that radical self love is part of dismantling those systems.
