Fundamentals 3

To protect themselves from rejection by

dominant society, people tend to regain

control through image

management:

mannerism, dress, exercise, eating, grooming,

i.e. focusing on the body.

Therefore body dissatisfaction is much more

widespread among Queer than other people.

The discounting of one's appearance for

social gain, in-group discrimination, & the

labelling (twink, muscle, leather, bear), create

a unhealthy relation of body and identity.
