Jordyn Woods: “The term plus size model is divisive”
Jordyn Woods, the Life of Kylie star and model, recently opened up about wanting to get rid of the plus size model term for once and for all. “I feel like when you categorize people and put them into a group, then it creates aloneness and segregation,” she shared. “There are so many models that it shouldn’t really matter. I don’t think there should be categories.” Jordyn adds, “[The term “plus-size”] is divisive, and it’s all because of a number inside your pants. I’m not really down with it.” “I’m just fighting a fight for the women who don’t want to be placed apart from other women because of the size of their hips.” I think putting a term on anything is putting it in a category, and I feel like when you get put in a category it makes you feel kind of segregated and alone. And right now we all need to join together,” Woods said. “There’s so many different types of models,” Woods said. “Tall, short, skinny, curvy, [various] race[s], gender[s], and I don’t think we need to identify anyone by what they look like. I think it’s just we’re all out here doing the same thing. Growing up, I always wanted to dress like all the other young girls at school, and I was a tomboy because I could only wear baggy clothes. “It wasn’t until recently in my life that I started finding things that I learned how to wear myself, and change it to make it more trendy,” Woods said. Woods also gave advice for curvy girls who are on their journey toward loving their body. “I think you should find out what works for you, and your individuality is your greatest gift.”
