"Last night, while conducting my routine survey of viral Body Positive imagery, I happened upon a rare link in my Facebook Newsfeed: a photograph campaign featuring Queer Muslims. "Finally!" I exclaimed out loud, long-frustrated with the binarism that is inherent to the mainstream Body Positive movement. In recent years "real woman" imagery has expanded to include "real men" as well, but those who identify as both, neither, and/or transgender continue to be excluded from mainstream photograph series and campaigns."
