for magic loves the hungry

male/man is a sociopolitical class within a patriarchal economic system. what would being a "man" even mean if it was distinct from its relational position in this sexgender hierarchy? what do these guys think manhood is? like they do not even offer a definition of what constitutes this ideal of "gender" that supposedly exists outside of social, political, and economic context.

this endless ''nothing means anything'' idealism as a tool for obscuring any analysis around sexgender in order to perpetuate transmisogyny without being held to account for it.. it's such a "I'd die before I hold solidarity with anyone" move.

Are you encouraging people to be “healthy” or do you think everyone is beautiful the way they are?

Everyone knows fitness is a fatphobic tool of facism

I'm gonna link this ask where I've addressed all of this before and I'm also going to explain all the points of faulty logic here:

It you think fitness and fatness are mutually exclusive, congratulations, you have internalized a very fatphobic myth. Building muscle, improving flexibility and endurance, consuming more nutrients, prioritizing hydration and quality rest are fitness habits that can improve our quality of life. They have nothing to do with our weight and any person at any size could pursue these habits, without pursuing weight loss.

I do not care what you look like. I am not concerned with beauty, that is subjective to begin with. Only you get to decide if you're beautiful and it has absolutely nothing to do with your fitness level.

I am concerned with demystifying fitness and making it accessible to anyone who wants to pursue it. I want to decouple fitness from vanity.

Having a strong core is valuable. Having visibly defined ab muscles is not. I want to shift the zeitgeist so that fitness is not seen as a tool of aesthetic modification, but as a tool of functionality.

I am chronically ill. I will never be "healthy" but pursuing fitness has improved my chronic pain dramatically, improved my balance (which is a big deal given than I am dyspraxic) helps regulate my mental state, and so, so much more. It also helped me gain weight, despite the fact that my Crohn's disease makes putting on weight extremely hard for me.

The truth is fascists would love if we all abandoned fitness. They would love to rule over a weak populace that has no ability to fight back. But fitness isn't their tool.

They've done everything they can to poison the well around fitness and make it as inaccessible to the working class as possible. I want to undo all of that. I want fitness to be a tool of the people as it originally was.

Please destroy the idea that being fit means pursuing thinness. It does not. Please also remember that fitness is just a hobby. You don't have to pursue it if you don't want to. Lots of hobbies provide benefits but that doesn't mean it's a moral imperative that you pursue them.

It's just an option. One that's currently shrouded in myths that I want to destroy. That's what I'm here for. To teach people, who want to learn, how to pursue fitness, not weight loss, in ways that accommodate their level, their interests, and their goals. And I'm here to remind people like you that when you position fitness as antithetical to fatness, you are perpetuating fatphobia, not fighting it.

“That’s extremely selfish of you have you considered that maybe you deserve to be abused?”

Please remember the lives lost, and the lives forever changed. Orlando had a rainbow crosswalk to memorialize this loss but governor Desantis ordered its removal last year. The club has also closed, but the city is currently in the process to create another memorial.
