Potatoes Are Love @queenofpotatoes - Tumblr Blog

“The fear of being fat is the fear of joining an underclass that you have so readily dismissed, looked down on, looked past, or found yourself grateful not to be a part of. It is a fear of being seen as slothful, gluttonous, greedy, unambitious, unwanted, and, worst of all, unlovable. Fat has largely been weaponized by straight-size people — the very people it seems to hurt most deeply. And ultimately, thin people are terrified of being treated the way they have so often seen fat people treated or even the way they’ve treated fat people themselves. In that way, thinness isn’t just a matter of health or beauty or happiness. It is a cultural structure of power and dominance.”

So often on fat positivity posts i see ppl leave comments like "yeah being fat isnt bad! If its not harming ur health then why should it be a problem?" And while i get that theyre well meaning it really annoys me that STILL fat ppl cant exist without our health being a qualifier. Guess what: some fat people are unhealthy. So what. Get over it.

#thin people never listen when I tell them the shame and guilt doesn’t help #and as someone struggling with health my god the baggage has been crippling #and making even a tiny change requires fighting against so much noise that I’m a worthless moral failure #it’s sad our humanity is thrown on a faux moral pyre so the world can worship thinnes as a virtue #but there’s a lot of money to be made selling thin. so fuck us I guess.

I was dropped from a few major nonprofit video campaigns right after I cut my hair as a teenager. They didn’t give an explanation. They didn’t need to. I quickly realized I was no longer respectable enough for them to use as an example “good” feminine trans girl. Instead, they worried I may make cis parents think their kids would continue to refuse gender roles regardless of transition status (which they somehow treated as a bad thing). The situation made me think about how much effort we put into appeasing society’s inclination toward homogeneity. I rarely saw other butch trans women in media at the time and realized why that was: an active process of large nonprofits trying to make trans more appealing to the mainstream at the expense of our gender nonconforming siblings. Bringing in allies shouldn’t mean excluding anybody. If you only support trans women who fit rigid ideas of what (trans) women can look like, then you don’t actually support trans people at all. Speaking up for trans women who don’t meet expectations of gender is absolutely essential for our community. By advocating for those on the margins of gender, we uplift all our communities.

i'm about to generalize wildly based off of my own anecdotal experiences but what is it with some white trans people that makes them so virulently fatphobic and if you're like "uhhhhh could you refrain from constantly talking about BMI/weight bc it brings up some bad stuff for me" they act like you're being transphobic at them specifically because you Don't Get It

Thin women say "I'm not like other girls" when even being seen as a girl is a privilege. To have full access to femininity, to not be misgendered or degendered. All because of your thinness. Meanwhile fat girls grow up and don't get to make that choice to be different. We just are. We aren't even seen as real women to most. Before I was even trans, I was being misgendered. Thin women think they're so much better than other women for wearing t-shirts and jeans instead of short skirts or crop tops. I never got to have that choice. The choice was made for me by this fatphobic society that doesn't want fat people to have access to clothes, let alone fashionable clothes or clothes that will show off a body. Wanting so badly to not be seen as the average feminine woman is beyond me when I was forced into masculinity from day one, especially in queer spaces where I would be expected to be the masculine, topping, dominant big spoon just because of my fucking size. The pain I would feel in fandom spaces as every single depiction of a queer pairing forced the bigger character to be "the man." How I wanted to cry at seeing a recent fan art of Rose Quartz getting to be the little spoon in a ship, the way Rose Quartz was the first time I ever got to see a fat woman be feminine and considered beautiful. What I would have given to be seen as one in a million women. After growing up not being allowed that privilege, I don't even feel connected to womanhood anymore. I never got to be Mulan who had the choice of masculinity or femininity at will. I was the fat matchmaker whose entire existence of judging thin women on how well they performed femininity while she was seen as an ugly, fat, masculine "woman" was the whole fucking joke.

Among puritan Christians in the 1840s, many believed that material disease was due to material sin. You do bad things and you get sick.

This eventually morphed into the idea that spiritual disease is therefore caused by spiritual sin. I.e. you think bad things, you go insane.

John Harvey Kellogg was an innovator. He sort of blended the two, popularizing a new category; the physiological sin. Eating unhealthy, disrupting the natural balance of the body, is a sin against the natural order of the body as God ordained it, and he punishes us with chronic illness.

normal-horoscopes

His followers were banned from:

Sex, masturbation, all meat, salt, grease, fat, dance, gambling, coffee, tea, alcohol, or warm water of any kind.

cheerycheesecake

why warm water????

normal-horoscopes

Excites the body. JHK considered man's natural state to be an unfeeling resting neutrality. All biological excitement was a sin.

normal-horoscopes

Yes. The cereal guy. As in Kellogg's Cereal. That guy.

salamencerobot

.... That explains the whole "bland cereal means no sex" idea, to be fair.

blessedetherealfae

Actually incorrect!!!!! His BROTHER was the Kellogg cereal guy - literally took the shitty bland-ass flakes he made with John before John started his own sanitarium (think of the old equivalent of a detox/cleanse luxury spa) and put sugar on them, and thus “Frosted Flakes” were born!!

normal-horoscopes

That's not correct. Both of them worked at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, which was established in 1866.

John Harvey Kellogg invented Corn Flakes, William Kieth Kellogg was a factory owner and designed the factory process to mass-produce them, and thus held the patent. In 1897 they started the Sanitary Food Corporation.

W.K. Kellogg knew the cereal would be more marketable if they put sugar in it. J.H. Kellogg thought that was a sin. The two had a falling out in 1906 over this, and W.K. split to form the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which later became the Kellogg Company.

blessedetherealfae

Oh thank you for the corrected info!!!

normal-horoscopes

I didn't read two whole biographies on this enema obsessed weirdo for people to be Slightly Wrong On The Internet About Him.

halfricanloveyou

please @normal-horoscopes expand on that enema thing. u can’t just mention that and not tell us.

normal-horoscopes

John Harvey Kellogg was obsessed with enemas. He was an early proponent of studying gut bacteria. He even worked at the Pasteur Laboratory in Paris for a while.

In 1936, he filed a petition for his invention of improvements to an "irrigating apparatus particularly adaptable for colonic irrigating."

Basically, he invented a chair that would pump water up your ass at over a gallon a minute, often followed by a half-pint of yogurt.

The irrigator was INCREDIBLY popular, notable people who used the irrigator were the likes of: Amelia Airhart, George Bernard Shaw, J.C. Penny, President William Howard Taft, Thomas Edison, and C.W. Post.

yeehawcowbi

CT I know you didn’t just say that the guy who was afraid of masturbation and warm water made a chair that blasted yogurt up your ass please say sike

normal-horoscopes

He also patented several designs for chastity cages.

bogleech

If you’re puritanical enough you just loop back around to a freak.

normal-horoscopes

Quick correction on this post: I stated that The Irrigator could pump water up an ass at a gallon a minute. This is inaccurate. It could pump water up an ass at more than four gallons per minute, faster than most industrial power washers.

I came across a series of letters from his Battle Creek Sanitarium a few months ago (I’m an archivist) right as my boss walked by. He inquired if I had found anything fun recently.

Long story short, that was a conversation that started with “please don’t call hr, but I am gonna hardcore info dump about John Harvey Kellogg to you and I am gonna warn you, it is gonna get wild”

spacelazarwolf

“ur just mad bc testosterone turned u into an ugly hairy bald fatty and not an anime twink”

i wonder why young impressionable trans ppl who want to go on t would be afraid of being hairy and bald and fat. i wonder if it’s maybe bc they’ve watched the queer community treat fat queer people in general, but particularly fat queer ppl who are hairy, bald, and/or not feminine, like absolute fucking shit. i wonder if it’s bc our society assigns morality to looks and fat hairy bald ppl get literally treated like predators simply because of the way they look. i wonder if it’s because they watched the rest of the queer community idolize and prioritize white thinness. i wonder if maybe, just maybe, there are deeply seated issues in the queer community that we might wanna address when they make themselves obvious instead of falling back on mocking individuals for the way they look.

[“Ultimately, anti-fatness isn’t based in science or health, concern or choice. Anti-fatness is a way for thinner people to remind themselves of their perceived virtue. Seeing a fatter person allows them to remind themselves that at least I’m not that fat. They believe that they have chosen their body, so seeing a fat person eat something they deem unhealthy reminds them of their stronger willpower, greater tenacity, and superior character. We don’t just look different, the thinking goes; we are different. Thinner people outwit their bodies. Fatter people succumb to them. Encounters with fatter people offer a welcome opportunity to retell that narrative and remind themselves of their superiority.

Over time, I have come to learn that these moments—the threats, the concern, the constant well-intentioned bullying—run even deeper than a simple assumption of superiority. It is a reminder so many thin people seem to desperately need. They don’t seem to be talking to me at all. They seem to be talking to themselves.

Thin people don’t need me to know about a diet or a surgeon. They don’t need me to hear them expound on the evils of the obesity epidemic or the war on obesity. They need to remind themselves to stay vigilant and virtuous. The ways that thin people talk to fat people are, in a heartless kind of way, self-soothing. They are warnings to themselves from themselves. I am the future they are terrified of becoming, so they speak to me as the ghost of fatness future. They remove food from my cart as if it is their own. They offer diet advice forcefully, insisting that I take it. If I say that I have, they insist I must have done it wrong, must not have been vigilant enough, must not have had enough willpower. They beat me up the way most of us only talk to ourselves. As if in a trance, they plead with me, some terrifying future self.

Sometimes, the trance breaks. Maybe it breaks because they realize, with great discomfort, that they have made extraordinary judgments, issued intrusive mandates like some petulant prince. Maybe it breaks because a fat person asks them to stop. But whatever breaks the trance, the thinner person seems to return to themself, recognizing that they may have overstepped. And without fail, they will offer the same rote caveat, a hasty waiver, unsigned, disclaiming any injury caused: I’m just concerned for your health. And just like that, all that judgment, all those assumptions, all that cruelty suddenly becomes a humanitarian mission.”]
