who said your body my choice

No single famous person is credited with first saying the exact phrase “your body, my choice,” and it doesn’t have a clear, traceable “original author” in the way a quote from a book or movie would.

Where the phrase comes from

  • The phrase riffs on the older feminist slogan “my body, my choice,” which arose in the late 1960s–1970s in the women’s liberation and abortion‑rights movements as a demand for bodily autonomy.
  • “My body, my choice” became widely used in protests, chants, and signs, not tied to a single originator but to a broad movement.

How “your body, my choice” took off

  • In late 2024, far‑right commentator Nick Fuentes (a white nationalist and prominent Trump supporter) posted “Your body, my choice. Forever.” online, using it in a gloating, misogynistic way after Donald Trump’s 2024 election win.
  • That phrasing spread rapidly on platforms like TikTok and X as an anti‑feminist, “ownership over women’s bodies” slogan and is often cited as the key moment when “your body, my choice” went viral in its current context.

So, who “said it”?

  • The underlying idea is a hostile twist on the long‑standing feminist slogan “my body, my choice,” which doesn’t have a single author and comes out of 1970s women’s liberation and abortion‑rights activism.
  • The viral, recent use of “Your body, my choice. Forever.” is strongly associated with Nick Fuentes , whose post and related clips are widely referenced when people ask where “your body, my choice” came from.

In short: it’s based on the older feminist slogan “my body, my choice,” and the modern viral version “your body, my choice” is most commonly linked to Nick Fuentes, not to a single historic originator.
