Self-defense is more important than ever. Learn, teach, and defend. Leftists need to start thinking seriously about guarding drag shows now.

I think the thing that drives me the most batshit about the medical fatphobia conversation is that the burden of proof feels so exactly backwards. Just from an obvious best practices standpoint???

Things like intentional malnourishment, intentionally incapacitating vital organs through surgery, denial of potentially lifesaving medical care until those things are done, etc.

Those are all pretty extreme. The kinds of things it feels like a “first do no harm” system should have a lot of solid evidence for before recommending or implementing them.

But they’re so bog standard and accepted and everyone from doctors to your own family will look at you like you’re a flat-earther when you suggest maybe we shouldn’t be defaulting to that.

[timemachineyeah]

“We have proved there is an association between larger bodies and certain illnesses!”

Okay, have you proved the fat caused the illnesses?

“No.”

Have you proved people have better long term outcomes from losing weight?

“We can’t.”

Right. And why is that again?

“Well to measure that, we’d have to compare the health outcomes of three populations - thin people, fat people, and fat people who became thin through weight loss.”

So do that.

“But there actually are not enough people who became thin through weight loss and kept it off for us to do a long term study on how that impacts their health. The sample size is too small.”

So you can’t prove that changing fat people to thin people would change their health outcomes to those of thin people.

Because you can’t prove that fat people can become thin in the first place.

But you’re still telling them to do that as your primary prescription.

Even when the recommended and unproven methods to do so are potentially very dangerous.

“Yeah, but”

What if as a doctor I found out pale people get skin cancer more often than darker skin people, so to prevent skin cancer, started recommending tanning to my palest patients? Would that be good health care?

“Don’t be ridiculous. That’s not what we’re doing.” Isn’t it though???

I’m dropping the bit. I’m losing my shit. I get so used to living in bizarro land but sometimes I just want to shake everyone. Calories are bad science! They are nearly meaningless! The BMI is bad science! It’s nearly meaningless! The presumptions made in weight loss studies are so bad!!! And we’ve known this for decades!!! And we just keep!!! Ruining lives!!! Why are we so invested in this clearly unfounded ideology about bodies???

Ppl dont seem to realise that "only perceivably queer people should have access to queer spaces and support" and "nobody is obligated to out themselves to you and nobody needs to provide proof of their sexuality/identity" CANNOT coexist.

People are very quick to say "nobody should ever be forced out of the closet, there is no one way to be queer" but then throw a fit when someone who isnt visibly gay plays a gay character or when someone who isnt officially out acts in a ~queer way~.

[aroacedavestrider]

hi guys. woke up to this on my phone today. zero fucking recollection of writing this down

[keplercryptids]

not to be a pessimist on the main blog, but i struggle with the fact that even the most radical leftists i know have almost all gone back to life as usual without wearing masks in public. people who I've sat in community with and talked about changing the world, just to see them not change a tiny aspect of their life to protect vulnerable people.

yes, we've been structurally failed on every level of this pandemic. and also yes, i can't take someone seriously in their ideals and morals if wearing a goddamn mask in public was too much for them. i could rant about this more but I'll just get upset lol.

please wear a mask if you've stopped doing so.

[keplercryptids]

people in the notes who want to try justifying why they stopped wearing masks: this post isn't the place for you to do that, babes. it is straight up unethical not to wear a mask in closed, public quarters, and if it makes you feel bad to hear that, well. sorry. deal with those feelings on your own time.

i know shame doesn't work as a motivator and i am truly not trying to shame anyone. at the same time, there's a special kind of horror i feel at the fact that we've been told by experts that masking can help to save lives, especially the lives of disabled folks, and most people collectively have shrugged and gone "ehhhh no thanks. you see, it's slightly inconvenient for me."

wear a fucking mask, please.
