Description

Body Phobia is an examination of the fear of the body, how it permeates all parts of culture, alienates us from one another, marginalizes some, and harms us all. Dex Anderson exposes our fear-based politics and shows us a way to approach bodies that is neither positive nor negative but neutral. Our bodies are. And that's enough.
