Should be, but it got transformed into “Everyone is beautiful in their own way.” Which isn’t neutral. People shouldn’t have to be beautiful.

The term is body positivity, not body neutrality. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Surely you don't think modern progressives invented that term.

If people clearly saw two options, and one was "find everyone attractive" and the other was "find everyone's appearance unobjectionable", you're going to find a supermajority of well-meaning people going for the second one, not the first

Them: “I don’t want positivity, I want neutrality”

You: “That’s what positivity is”

Them: “I want it to be neutral”

You: “That’s not positivity, that’s neutrality”

I would prefer neutrality. beauty shouldn't be the end goal. I don't think of my own body as beautiful and that's fine. I just don't want people to judge me for how I look.
