This christmas, support people with eating disorders by giving them the space they need. If they can't eat in front of the whole family, don't make them, maybe offer to eat with them before everyone arrives. Don't comment on how little or how much someone eats at christmas dinner. Don't comment on peculiar eating habits. Don't mention how much weight someone has lost or put on. Don't talk about what diets you've done in the past, don't talk about how much weight you'll gain from this one christmas dinner (you won't gain weight from one dinner oh my god please stop and learn some basics about nutrition). Just. Stop policing people's bodies please.

If you're genuinely worried about us, instead of shaming us in front of everyone and making us feel worse and more isolated, try talking to us in private.

This is just a reminder to Cis people to consider your words on Trans Day of Remembrance and Trans Day of Visibility; some of your trans friends and followers may or may not want not to be wished a happy TDoR or TDoV.

Some may choose it as a day for celebration of life and survival and progress, or as a day of mourning, or a bit of both, but that's a personal choice based on personal experiences. Just show them your support and offer to talk with them if you can handle it, set boundaries for the conversation if you need to. Be there if you can, and try to support the community. 💗

(Feel free to reblog, but no shenanigans on this post please. TDoR is on November 20, TDoV is March 31.)

[There are a lot of thoughtful comments and replies in the notes. My original post wasn't as positive; so I edited it to reflect what I learned from other people. I appreciate everyone's contributions. Feel free to reblog their additions.]
