One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, she’ll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.

There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, “Why are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?”

My coworker replied, “That’s where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.”

To which the substitute replied, “But she’s so fat. She doesn’t need it.”

By starving her. She insisted that her baby was ‘too fat’ and had an aim to remove any and all ‘chubbyness’ so her baby would be thin. She’d already been warned by her doctor about the baby not getting enough food, but insisted she knew best.

After several months of this her baby passed out cold one day and was rushed into hospital where the doctors found her to have severe malnutrition, a low body temperature and low pulse rate. They asked my cousin what she’d been feeding her daughter and she said “one bottle of skimmed milk a day. I don’t want her growing up fat.”

Even after nearly killing her daughter my cousin maintained her view that fat = bad and ended up with all her kids taken from her because she was starving them and neglecting them.

When your fatphobia leads you to starving your own children then you’ve got serious problems.

Is

Real

She backed off saying, ‘Well he looks fine!” – proving once again that weight bias is not truly about health – But I know many other parents who are not as informed as I am about weight science and size diversity would react to this interaction by policing their child’s food intake, if not as an infant, then when he was an older child. This is exactly the type of seemingly-inconsequential interaction that starts the ball rolling on a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, negative body image, and weight-based abuse for too many fat people.

Years later when he was five, another doctor measured his weight and height and commented that he is off the charts on both, but “at least he is in proportion.” And if he was not “in proportion,” I am sure I would have been advised once again to “watch his weight.” 

I no longer allow healthcare providers to weight my children unless it is absolutely medically necessary. They are unable to control their weight talk, which is a known harm for children.

1. The 4 years old daughter of a friend of mine came to our house to spend the weekend. She gave me a letter from her mom that said that the child was in a glutenfree diet because she was getting ‘awfully fat’ when eating cookies or bread (my celiac ass; who gets dhiarrea and loses a scary amount of weight whenever I eat something with gluten was like ’???’).

You can bet that I went to the supermarket with the kid and told her ‘go & take whatever you feel like eating’ and the poor child came back smiling with her arms full of biscuits and cupcakes.

She didn’t got sick (as a celiac would get) and told me later that she hated the diet her mother made her follow; because her cousins didn’t had to pass through that.

And what’s the scariest thing about this story? Her mother was a NURSE. A fucking nurse who didn’t have a clue of the harm that she was doing to her daughter’s body!

2. My little sister started to feel fatigued and dizzy at 9 years old. She felt nauseated at the sight of food and had abdominal pain that increased with physical activity.

Mom got her to the ER and the doctor dismissed it saying: ‘she’s fat and probably is feeling ill after eating too much burgers, get her to make some exercise and she will be better in no time’.My mom didn’t felt ok with the diagnosis and took my sister with a second doctor who also told her that ‘the child was just fat’.

My sister’s skin was starting to get yellow as the days passed and the abdominal pain was getting awful so my mom (heaven bless her!) got her to the ER for the third time:

SHE HAD STAGE 4 HEPATITIS AND WAS ABOUT TO DIE.

She survived after a long and painful recovery who involved being in bed for a whole year (remember that we’re speaking of a 9 years old child). Luckily they saved her liver and she didn’t went through a transplant… but let this sink:

If it weren’t for my mother, fatphobia would have killed her. Fatphobia kills kids and teenagers, fatphobia kills inocent people everyday. It treats human beings as lesser than others and hurts them in their most vulnerable times.

FUCKING TAKE NOTE OF THIS!

He had a wife and an 18 month old daughter when he died.

This is why any even minor symptom I get terrifies me.

This is why I’m a goddamn hypochondriac.

Because if I have something wrong, and I go to the doctor, I cannot trust my doctor to actually find the cause.

I’ve lost a ton of weight in the last six months since I moved back in with my parents. I was pretty sure it was because I’m eating healthier and less fast food and sodas. But when I raised the concern to my doctor they immediately waved it off, just like the story above.

I’m 33. I’m the same age.

I was and always have been a chubby kid. So the first thing the doctor said when she walked into the room was “oh, looks like we’re getting pretty big and fat, huh?”

Keep in mind I was 10, maybe 11 years old, already being bullied in school because I was short and chubby and different than the rest of the kids. To have a doctor straight up call me fat to my face, hurt my feelings so bad. And they wanted me to take off my clothes so they could get a better look at my skin (they tried to blame my skin breaking out in my cat) but I felt so insecure that I didnt want to and my mom had to tell me and reassure me that it was okay to take off my clothes so the doctor could look at my skin and I felt so gross for the rest of the day.

Fat shaming is bullshit. It makes no sense that a doctor should make a child feel bad about themselves. It makes no sense that my skin starting breaking out in flaky scabs when I was 9, yet I wasn’t diagnosed with psoriasis until I was 15, and didn’t start a solid treatment plan until like 2 months ago, and now I’m 18.

But once again. In case y'all didn’t know.

This seems like a solid and real thing, I did my best to vet them and found their FB: https://www.facebook.com/Neverusealone/

Bi women are kinda expected to just not be with men if they have like. Common sense or something. You see it everywhere. Victim blaming attitudes towards bi women with men from within the bi community usually along the lines of “if she hadn’t been with a man that wouldn’t have happened”

And a recent examoke is the anon I got the other day saying (to what degree of seriousness who knows lol) sleeping with men makes u a class traitor.

So anyways these attitudes can force bi women to choose between community and a relationship that can serve in some cases where the man is abusive to further isolate bi women.

And I’ve seen some people say welll ok if they’re with men then why don’t they go to str8 resources. And it’s like ok. Well for one they aren’t straight that should be enough but let’s go a bit further. Bi women experience unique types of abuse at the intersection of misogyny and biphobia and connected to misconceptions about bisexuals in general. They are also more vulnerable to abuse than straight women because again - they face abuse unique to bi women.

some say the solution is for bi women to just. Not date men. Especially when a bi woman dares criticize or express anger towards men. Which literally isn’t possible for some who for example may live where they can’t be out as a bisexual, where there isn’t much of an lgbt community. And umm sometimes you just fall in love with a man because that’s the whole thing with bisexuality lol.

It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic

It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic

Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic

Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.

but in terms of the human rights violations happening in America right now, here’s something more immediate you can do.

If you haven’t heard there is a literal massacre going on in Sudan.

People are getting kidnapped, arrested, raped and killed. This has been going on for a few days now but naturally there’s hardly any media coverage.

THE WORLD CARES MORE ABOUT AN EMPTY CHURCH IN FRANCE THAN HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT BLACK MUSLIMS DYING IN SUDAN.

There are a few ways to help:

 - Emergency Medical Aid Donation

- Facebook campaign raising funds for food and other necessities

- International Rescue Committee

- Save The Children

Even if you can’t donate please help spread the news!!
