Tyra Banks wishes to replace 'plus-size' label with 'fiercely real'

Tyra Banks has expressed her opinion that 'plus-size' should be renamed "fiercely real".

The 40-year-old American television personality, who is a part of a campaign with Special K cereal to banish talk of fuller-figured women, believes that the term used to describe them should be re-worded to give a more optimistic and less harmful feel, Stuff.co.nz reported.

She added that she doesn't go by the label 'plus-size' and admitted that she calls it "fiercely real".
