public service announcement to every plus-sized person in the chat:
you don't owe anyone an explanation for your body or your health
being fat isn't a moral failing deserving of judgment
you don't owe anyone self-shame or weight loss just to be loved and accepted
your health isn't solely defined by your weight
you deserve proper healthcare that doesn't reduce you to a number on a scale
you deserve to take care of your health in whatever way you need without being judged for trying
life is too short to not enjoy good food
life is WAY too short to care what other people think
just because other people want you to feel bad for being fat doesn't mean you should
you deserve to feel sexy and beautiful in your body without being reduced to a fetish or told that you're fetishizing fatness
you deserve to take pride in your body without being accused of 'promoting unhealthy lifestyles'
you deserve to date whoever the hell you want without judgment
you deserve to love yourself and your body without being called vain
you deserve to take selfies and share pictures of yourself without people commenting on your body
you deserve to have standards for yourself and how you're treated
you deserve to do what makes you happy and healthy without others turning you into a political statement or a social martyr
you're allowed to have flaws and quirks and personality traits that aren't attributed to your weight
there is no such thing as a "perfect fat person" and you certainly aren't responsible for setting that example
you are loved and you deserve to exist without apology or explanation
the world is better with you in it and that is not up for debate
because this has once again broken containment, just a reminder / heads-up to every unaware 1 in 10,000th person that this was just a fun meme redraw of this famous comic about transphobes, the caption with all my affirmations for plus-sized people is mine but the comic structure and punchline is not lol (i just redrew it with teto because fat teto is also A Thing™️) I'd like to think this is common knowledge, as that post has been around and meme'd on for literally years, but I can't count on everyone being as chronically online as I am. And as the note count for this post climbs higher than I ever imagined it would, I don't want anyone accusing me of blatant theft or trying to "take over" the original comic as that wasn't at all the intent lol the original comic is great and this one wouldn't exist without it so go give it some love <3
