I don't think some of you realize how important fat representation is, especially within the transgender community.

For YEARS I only saw drawing after drawing of skinny trans men. Even if they were buff, they were skinny.

For years I was so horribly distraught by the fact that I couldn't picture myself after top surgery, after testosterone. I kept trying to picture myself as small and skinny, kept trying to tell myself I'd become that with testosterone and top surgery.

But now, as I've found artists that draw fat trans ftm characters, as I myself have been drawing fat trans ftm characters? I can picture myself. I can see myself after medically transitioning. This is literally life-changing. It's helped with my mental health so much.

I am on the verge of tears at the moment. They are happy tears.

Fat representation is so so important and I really, really hope that more artists and writers will draw/write more fat transgender characters (both ftm and mtf!)

I recovered, and now I’m considered fat. And that’s fine.

You might too.

You may gain weight, and it may give you a body that is stigmatized. I recovered, by body is fat now. My life did not end. Yours will not either.

Embrace the possibility that that may happen, and embrace the idea that you can learn to accept yourself at that size as well. It’s possible, I’m doing it. You can too.

Work on that internalized fatphobia and get therapy if you can to work on the reasons behind your disorder.

You might get fat. Recover, it’s worth it.

Remember that you can *learn* to be happy and healthy in a body that is fat, but you will never achieve that in your eating disorder. Never.
