Ever since bodybuilding has been gotten to the grips of fitness enthusiasts, coaches, and bodybuilders as a sport, the sport has a sense of masculinity pegged to it. From eminent bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, the Flex Wheeler, Greg Doucette to less prominent bodybuilding enthusiasts, the realm of bodybuilding has so far been masculine-biassed. Nevertheless, athletes like Stefan Cohen are transforming the dynamics by pitching in their views to the bodybuilding fraternity. 

Laura Gorton from Long Sutton is a model upholding the Miss Wellness title 2023 in Manchester by partaking in the competition dubbed Miss Swimsuit United Kingdom. She is on a crusade to break the pigeonhole and stereotype of women with muscles being referred to as masculine. 

Long Sutton’s Laura Gorton’s first bodybuilding competition

According to spaldingtoday.co, 25-year-old Laura Gorton is equipped to partake in her foremost bodybuilding competition just weeks after winning the Miss World title. She is enthralled to exhibit her alter-ego, and her heavy athletic body on stage. The young athlete’s primary goal is to manifest her bewitching physique on stage. While celebrating her triumph as the national peasant, she talks about how health and fitness have helped her in depression and anxiety. Thus, Laura says after winning the title, “I was quite shocked. It was nice to receive it again and the meaning of what I wanted to show, which was healthy living and mental health.”

Laura Gorton goes on elaborating on her viewpoint on mental fitness. “It’s something close to my heart, health is what saves me from depression and being at the gym, lifting weights.” Nevertheless, later on Gorton talks about her very first step in the bodybuilding arena, saying “It’s my first bodybuilding show and I’m a little nervous but excited.” Moreover, Laura Gortan a.k.a Laura Lelarai puts emphasis on the need to transform the modeling industry. She asserts that the industry has almost all the models of all sizes, including the voluptuous women, and the standard look. 

However, something is off, as the fashion realm does not include the fitness and muscular look of a woman because it is deemed as masculine and not feminine. She reveals the biases incurred in the world of fashion.  

Transforming the realm of modeling by adding a fitness and muscular look

Laura Gorton with an Instagram following of 3,150 users and scores of awe-inspiring and glamorous pictures all over her feed, she put forth an idiosyncratic opinion by quoting, “I do like to bring a different look to the modelling industry. I know we’ve got all of this body positivity but I do feel that fitness side, that muscular look, is deemed very masculine and not feminine.” 

The first-time participant in the bodybuilding competition, Laura is in pursuit to overpower the stigma of muscular women being referred to as masculine. Do comment on your point of view on this whole new approach.
