Model Ashley Graham <\/b>has long been a pioneer within the body positivity movement, though the GLP-1 trend has arguably challenged the concept of fierce acceptance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really disheartening,\u201d Graham, 38, told Marie Claire<\/i><\/span><\/a> <\/i>in a profile published on Thursday, April 30. \u201cThere was a pendulum that swung that was so body acceptance, positivity [and] everybody be who they need to be. And now, it\u2019s going back this whole opposite way that looks like a smack within the face to the ladies who’ve felt like they\u2019ve had a voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Semaglutides and GLP-1s \u2014 including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro \u2014 are commonly prescribed to adults who struggle with weight-related conditions. Many celebrities have since began using the controversial drugs to slim down, though doctors have cautioned against<\/span> using the medication for casual weight reduction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes with the times \u2014 and GLP-1s are a time,\u201d Graham acknowledged. \u201cI do know that there are and there\u2019s gonna still be women who’re considered plus-size perpetually. This drug isn\u2019t going to wipe out a complete statistic of girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Graham, she plans to proceed constructing a \u201ccommunity\u201d of body-positive women.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many [plus size influencers and creators]. They\u2019re in every single place with their sizes and their proportions and the way they give the impression of being and the way they\u2019re relatable,\u201d the supermodel mused to the outlet. \u201cAnd to me, that\u2019s the good part about all of this. Seeing that these girls, who were raised on social media at such a young age at the moment are coming in and so they have a platform to say to the younger generation, \u2018Be yourself, be who you would like to be. If you’ve got cellulite, who cares?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
