Honestly a lot of body positivity stuff makes me feel worse about being fat I’m not gonna lie.

[griffonatrix]

The body positivity movement, in its majestic equality, urges the thin as well as the fat to accept their bodies, to partake in sweets, and to eat bread.

[griffonatrix]

At this point I just assume that people are chasers if they react negatively when I tell them I'm considering The Surgery (abdominoplasty).

“You didn’t used to be like this when you were a kid.” I know please don’t remind me

"This never bothered you when you were a kid."

Yes it did. I just let it slide because I was taught that I'm "too sensitive" anytime something bothered me. But now I'm finally standing up for myself.

"You never struggled with this when you were a kid."

Yes I did. I just burned myself out in order to do it so I wouldn't be punished. But now I'm accepting myself enough to not force myself to do what I was never meant to do.

"You didn't have these problems when you were younger."

Yes, I did. I just spent my child/teen years with structured institutions like school while not having to worry about whether I had a roof over my head or food to eat and spent my early adult years using up every bit of adrenaline I will ever have to ignore the fact that I've been chronically burnt out my whole life.

one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal is the ability to be normal about stuff. be normal about sex. be normal about bodies. be normal about sex work. be normal about peoples kinks. and then, most importantly, when someone gets prudish, or puritanical, or conservative, recognize that you are the normal one in the conversation, and act like it.

"You think she should be ashamed? that's weird man. why do you care so much. You think that's gross? okay... kinda weird that you care though. you found out about her kinks? what are you, like, stalking her or something? what, you think her job sucks 'cause it involves sex? what's it got to do with you? you're really obsessed with other people man, it's kinda creepy."

the duality of shame and normalcy is not static. you get to decide what is normal and what is shameful, and you can do it by your own standards. If you let someone else make that decision for you, you're ceding more ground than you could possibly know.

why are you always bitching about cis women having boundaries and not cis men who are the ones who are statistically far more likely to murder you? god forbid women don't spend all their emotional labor on centering you 24/7. go after the transphobic politicians or something, those are the actual fascists who want you dead.

those "boundaries" get us murdered lol. trans women who can't access women's shelters or other forms of housing because of cis women's "boundaries" are left on the streets to be assaulted and murdered

if you want trans women out of women's spaces, and the rationale for those spaces existing is to protect from violence, then you are saying that trans women don't deserve protection from the same violence despite being at an even higher risk of it than you

[mousidy]

terfs have gotten crazy good at framing discrimination through the language of consent. systemic discrimination is not "boundaries"

[mousidy]

the emotional labor of being asked not to discriminate against one of the most vulnerable groups of women

underrated shit thing about trans womanhood is not being afforded any privacy on fertility issues. being unable to carry children and unable to mourn this fact in privacy. basically everyone knows and feels entitled to comment and mistreat us because of it
