In this episode, I will confront the Dominant Dogma that makes us believe that we must earn our belonging in our bodies. I’ll explore how humans (especially those socialized as girls) are made to value themselves based on their bodies, how this belief system has roots in supremacy, patriarchy, colonialism, and abelism, and how we miss out on the nuance and beauty of each individual when we give into this way of thinking. I’ll also provide some personal experience and “Dominant Dogma in the wild” sightings to illustrate this cultural phenomenon.
