So sick of "it's okay to lose weight" feedist posts, there are so many other ways to say the message you're probably trying to get at then reinforcing medical fatphobia, disordered eating, weight cycling, and the diet industry, like, come on.
"You're still a gainer/feedee if you're not able to maintain your weight 100% of the time or keep up a constant growth for your entire life; that's an unrealistic expectation to put on yourself and others."
"Feeders and encouragers are not entitled to feedees' and gainers' bodies and don't get to make the rules for what they should be doing with their bodies."
"Sometimes we don't have control over what our bodies do when it comes to weight, such as with medical conditions or medications, and that has no bearing on how welcome someone is in this community or whether they're 'allowed to' show, celebrate, or express their sexuality with their body."
"Both celebrating and being openly judgemental toward specific individuals about weight loss are not welcome in this community, as they shouldn't be anywhere else, too. Don't harass people for their decisions about their body or treat them like a sex object who has betrayed you, personally, if you don't like the decision they are making about their body. Fat people are forced to live in an extremely fatphobic environment with a lot of complex forces pressuring them to lose weight and are often put in coercive, impossible decisions by people who have power over them."
"There are choices, support, and resources out there (and within this community) if you feel like you have no choice but to go along with the pressures of your fatphobic environment - and even if you really have no choice than to capitulate to oppression for your safety, we're still here for you."
"Let's help educate our community about medical and other forms of antifatness, and support and connect with each other to help break from shame cycles so that we are all less vulnerable to these pressures."
