British body positive influencer Megan Jayne Crabbe, who goes by BodyPosiPanda, recently made a public announcement that she was joining the queer community because she is now pansexual. In an interview on YouTube alongside a trans activist, she claimed that it would have been impossible for her to get to her label of pansexuality if it hadn’t been for her body positivity. The clip previewing this video showed a meme of two hands shaking, one labeled queerness and the other labeled body positivity.
