Umyalezo, owawuthunyelwe kuLiukin ephendula kwisibuko se-selfie awasithatha emva kokuzivocavoca umzimba, wabuza ukuba ucinga ukuba "uphakamisa imizimba ejonge umda we-anorexia." (Faka umqulu wamehlo apha.)

Endaweni yokuphendula kwi-troll ngasese, u-Liukin uthathe ithuba lokwabelana ngesikrini se-DM kwi-feed yakhe ye-Instagram kwaye achaze ukuba luyingozi kangakanani na olu hlobo lokuhlola kwimpilo yengqondo yomntu.

"Indenze ndaziva ndoyisiwe, ndicaphukile, ndibuhlungu, ndikruqukile, ndibhidekile, ndothukile, kunye nezinye iimvakalelo ezininzi.

U-Liukin wabelane ukuba uyayiqonda indlela uhlobo lomzimba wakhe olunokubonakala ngathi "lubangela" kwabanye, ngakumbi abantu abanengxaki yokutya. Sekunjalo, oko akuthethi ukuba kufuneka afihle indlela akhangeleka ngayo ngokwemvelo, waqhubeka. Uxolo, ukuba umzimba wam ubangela kuwe, ubhale watsho. "Andikholelwa ukuba kufuneka ndiyifihle ngenxa yokwesaba ukukhubekisa. Ndikhuthaza okwenyani, ndikhuthaza eluhlaza, kwaye ndikhuthaza inyaniso. " (U-Liukin ngomnye wabantu abaninzi baseOlimpiki abanekratshi lokukuxelela ukuba kutheni beyithanda imizimba yabo.)

Okulusizi kukuba, eli ayisosihlandlo sokuqala uLiukin kuye kwafuneka ukuba avale iitroli zokuthetha izinto ezinenzondo ngomzimba wakhe. Emva kokuthatha umhlala-phantsi kwi-gymnastics ngo-2012, wazuza iiplani ezingama-25 kwaye wahlaselwa ngokukhawuleza ngamazwana ambiza "ngamafutha." Emva koko, kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, waqala ukufumana imiyalezo eyayimhlazisa ngokuba "ebhityile kakhulu" kwaye "engenampilo."

Ngoku, yonke le minyaka kamva, uLiukin usasilwa idabi elifanayo. “NguM lo,” uqhubeke ebhala kwiposti yakhe ye-Instagram. "Lo ngumzimba wam. Nangona ndihlala ndibhityile, andizange ndihlale ndomelele. Ndiyazingca ngokuthi ndomelele ngokwenene ngoku kunokuba ndandinjalo." (Ufuna ubungqina? Mbukele etyumza le sekethi yezinyuko ezisezantsi ngathi yi-NBD.)

NjengoLiukin, abantu abenza umthambo kwiOlimpiki banembali yokuchongwa bodwa ngenxa yemizimba yabo. Ungakhumbula ngo-2016, uSimone Biles wagxothwa kwi-troll eyambiza ngokuba "mbi" emva kokuba ethumele umfanekiso wakhe kwi-getup emnandi ngelixa eseholideyini. "Nonke niyakwazi ukugweba umzimba wam ngayo yonke into eniyifunayo, kodwa ekupheleni kosuku ngumzimba WAM," wabhala kwi-Twitter ngelo xesha. "Ndiyayithanda kwaye ndikhululekile kulusu lwam."

Kwesinye isiganeko esenzeka emva kwe-2016 iOlimpiki yaseRio, iiBiles kunye neqela lakhe, u-Aly Raisman kunye noMadison Kocian bonke babeneentloni zomzimba ngenxa yemisipha yabo emva kokuba iiBiles zithumele ifoto yabo benxibe iibhikini elunxwemeni. Ukusukela ngoko, u-Raisman uqhubeke waba ngummeli onomdla wokuqina komzimba kwaye wazimanya neempawu eziqhubela phambili ezinje nge-Aerie ukukhuthaza abantu basetyhini ukuba bazive bekhululekile kulusu lwabo.

Ngokudibeneyo, la manenekazi e-badass abonakalisile ukuba kubaluleke kangakanani ukuzimela ngokwakho kwaye uphelise ukuhlazeka komzimba. "WONKE UMZIMBA kufuneka uthandwe- kwaye kutheni umzimba wam ungawelanga kuloo nto, nawo?" U-Liukin wabhala kwisithuba sakhe ngaphambi kokuba athethe ngokuthe ngqo kwi-troll yakhe.

"Ndicela uxolo ngayo yonke into ohamba nayo ekwenza ukuba ucinge ukuba ukubhala eli nqaku kum kwakulungile," wabelane. "Ndiyathemba ukuba uya kuphila kwintlungu yakho njengoko ndipholisile kweyam kwaye ndisaqhubeka."
