yeah its me 😔

public service announcement to every plus-sized person in the chat:

you don't owe anyone an explanation for your body or your health

being fat isn't a moral failing deserving of judgment

you don't owe anyone self-shame or weight loss just to be loved and accepted

your health isn't solely defined by your weight

you deserve proper healthcare that doesn't reduce you to a number on a scale

you deserve to take care of your health in whatever way you need without being judged for trying

life is too short to not enjoy good food

life is WAY too short to care what other people think

just because other people want you to feel bad for being fat doesn't mean you should

you deserve to feel sexy and beautiful in your body without being reduced to a fetish or told that you're fetishizing fatness

you deserve to take pride in your body without being accused of 'promoting unhealthy lifestyles'

you deserve to date whoever the hell you want without judgment

you deserve to love yourself and your body without being called vain

you deserve to take selfies and share pictures of yourself without people commenting on your body

you deserve to have standards for yourself and how you're treated

you deserve to do what makes you happy and healthy without others turning you into a political statement or a social martyr

you're allowed to have flaws and quirks and personality traits that aren't attributed to your weight

there is no such thing as a "perfect fat person" and you certainly aren't responsible for setting that example

you are loved and you deserve to exist without apology or explanation

I'm at a Gender Determination Party where we're competing to determine a baby's future gender.

The FDA is considering a petition to make all trans women on estrogen enroll in a registry as a condition of our prescriptions.

If you are in the United States, you have the power to comment on this proposed regulation. The instructions for doing so, and more about the petition, are here. I just left a comment, and it took two minutes. You can do so anonymously.

The petition is bad for other reasons too. It blatantly singles out transgender women and asks for mandatory psychiatric gatekeeping of lifesaving gender affirming care.

right now there are 61 comments on the petition and all are in support of it. Being one of the voices that pushes back is the easiest thing in the world.

If you don't like those posts about how everyone on this website doesn't care about trans women, and wouldn't lift a finger to save us from genocide, here's your chance to prove them wrong.
