Confidence isn’t about fitting a mold—it’s about defining your own worth.
What would confidence look like on your terms? Start there.
You’ve already proven you can reject false narratives. This is just another one waiting to be dismantled.

Remember - You Deserve to Take Up Space
You don’t need anyone’s permission to live fully in your body, just like you didn’t need permission to embrace other parts of your identity.
Let go of the rules that don’t serve you.

Like Coming Out, unlearning Body Shame is a process.
Start by:
1. Questioning the rule.
2. Challenging its validity.
3. Choosing your own standard.
4. Making a plan to live by it.
You’ve got the tools. Use them.

To be clear - beliefs about sexuality & gender are upheld by different systems than those that uphold body standards - & the consequences for defying them are not the same.
That said, the skills you used to move past lies about 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ identity are the same ones you need to break free from body shame.

You don’t need to measure up to anything.
You never did.
Just like you rejected the idea that love should look one way, you can reject the idea that your body needs to meet a certain standard.
Your worth isn’t up for debate.

From birth, traits we can’t control are assigned value. We’re told they define our worth. But who decided this?
These hierarchies aren’t facts—they’re constructed, enforced, and perpetuated by systems (media, capitalism, patriarchy, etc.) that profit from our insecurities.

Height. Weight. Penis size. Age.
These traits (and so many more) are unfairly ranked in an invisible hierarchy.
The message? If you don’t measure up, shrink, hide, or apologize.
But you don’t have to accept that.

“Love, sex, & attraction only happen one way”
“Gender is a binary”
“Only a narrow range of bodies are ‘good’ “
We’ve already rejected the first two.
Why accept the third?

Coming out taught you something powerful:
Some “truths” are just opinions that got repeated enough to feel real—and you’ve already proven you don’t have to accept them.
