Honestly it’s so perplexing because I think tumblr assumes that body positivity is a movement that’s already done and over with but seriously, no really, activists still really hate fat women. and I’m not talking about sizes 12-16, I’m talking 18+, the “obese girls” who have “no excuse” and have “no redemption.” Bring up body positivity in a room full of white vegans and watch what happens. Ask some feminists, radical or liberal or queer, to support a fat woman who isn’t wearing some primadonna lingerie and sitting a poised photoset waiting for your half-assed material consumption. Talk about the experience of gender nonconforming, nonwhite, disabled, minority fat women for more than five posts and watch your follower count plummet and bring it up in an activist space and listen to the “I don’t promote unhealthy lifestyles, I don’t know about this, I don’t really think this is an oppression.” Talk to fat girls who are oppressed on more than one axis than their weight and ask them what they were bullied most for in school; their weight. “Fat bitch, ugly fat girl, fucking fat head, she’s so big.” Talk to us girls that aren’t thick, curvy, or bodacious, who are just fat, lumpy, and existing in a large space. Stop assuming that it’s just clothes and no one finding us fuckable. People hate us, and contrary to popular belief, our fatness doesn’t save us from being raped, sex trafficked, pimped out, and beaten. Our “uglyness” isn’t a safeguard. I just don’t get it.
