Not lost. Not anymore. @mobleys - Tumblr Blog

Talk to that person you like. Ask about their favorite movies or their favorite music. Start conversation with them. Nothing begins through pining. It might be scary, but push yourself to start that conversation. You absolutely have the strength to do it, just believe in yourself.

Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant.

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%.

“It’s not fat phobia! Fat people have higher rates of complications from surgery!! Doctors are just being prudent!”

People with diabetes and hepatitis C are not routinely denied kidney transplants, even though their conditions dramatically increase the risk of complication and death.

Also, when they are on dialysis, fat people have a survival advantage over thin people. Does this mean we should deny thin people dialysis until they can gain weight? Wouldn’t that be prudent?

“If you give a fat person a kidney, you’re throwing away an organ that could save someone’s life!”

Providing kidney transplants to fat people saves lives. Fat people who receive a kidney transplant experience a 48 - 66% reduction in the risk of death in the year following the transplant, compared to fat people who do not receive a transplant.

“Fat people have higher rates of complications sweaty, that’s why they are denied transplants <3″

Fat people have an approximately 20% to 40% greater risk of death in the eight years following a kidney transplant compared to thin people (although we cannot know if that increased risk was caused by a delay in treatment, weight regain post transplantation among patients required to lose weight, or another confounding factor). But that risk is far outweighed by the survival benefits of transplantation, leading researchers to conclude that “obesity should not be a contraindication for transplantation.”

But honestly, this entire conversation is despicable. Inhuman. Soulless. People are actually conducting research to determine whether fat people should be offered life-saving medical care. Our world hates fat people so much, that this question seems reasonable to ask.

One thing that a lot of transmasc people struggle with before they fully realize they’re trans is the question of “do I hate being treated like a woman because women are treated like shit, or do I hate being treated like a woman because I’m not a woman?”

and one method (though not entirely foolproof) to figuring that out is asking “would I be upset if another girl was treated like this?”

like, I’d be just as mad if some dude said “you can’t do math because you’re a girl” to a female classmate as I would if he said it to me

however, I never got uncomfortable at waiters calling my female friends “m'am”, I was only uncomfortable when they called *me* that

and obviously everyone’s feelings are different and there’s tons of variables at play, but if you find that there’s a lot of the second scenario going on with you, there’s a good chance you’re not entirely cis

the-oncoming-glowcloud

fun fact: im fat, and learning to love myself actually helped me lose weight and get healthy!!

bc when i started loving myself, which society and useless walnuts like u get ur knickers in a twist about bc idk u need a nap or something, i started thinking shit like “"y'KNOW what, im going to put this apple in my face hole bc it’s rlly tasty”“ whereas before i would have not done that out of fear of those useless walnuts seeing me and thinking (or saying!) ”“one apple isn’t gonna help is it, u fat fuck”“

learning to love my fat bod got me going to the gym, bc my mindset went from ”“gotta be thin, gotta go to the gym”“ to ”“being able to lift heavy shit would be fun, let’s go to the gym”“

15+ years of hating my fat body made me continue getting fatter and more unhealthy

6 months of loving my fat body lost me 3 stone, and did wonders for my mood

tl:dr, be fat, love urself, eat the haters

GOOD ADDITION GOOD ADDITION THANK U

Just a reminder not to equate health and weight as if they are the same thing.

Hating your body at any size is unhealthy because it is damaging to your mental health, and certainly taking your hatred out on your body is damaging to your physical health. But being fat, in and of itself, is not.

But even if it was, unhealthy people still deserve to love themselves and be happy and proud of who they are, and would still deserve to be treated like humans.

associating lesbians solidly and solely with transmisogynist radfems is exactly what said transmisogynist radfems want what are yall fuckin doing

strongorcbutch-deactivated20220

As a lesbian trans woman, THIS. Pay ATTENTION.

Terfs are INVADERS in lesbian spaces. To the point they are literally having to take a move from their fellow fascists and recruit police officers just to be present at lesbian events which are openly welcoming of trans women.

Do not help them by saying that terf and lesbian are synonymous. That’s the line they’ve been trying to push for a long time now, and if you start treating the two as one and the same you are helping terfs. That is not an ally type action. At all. The proper response when they say this is to remind them that they’re not, and especially if you’re a cis/non-trans woman lesbian, PUSH THEM THE FUCK OUT OF OUR SPACES.

i’m sure you know what’s been happening with the children who are separated from their parents while trying to enter US. i’m selling these old sketchbook drawings in my Storenvy shop, in order to raise money for Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project who help bring those families back together. there are other drawings in my shop that you can buy to help me donate (they all have “ASAP donation” in the title). if you can’t buy art from me, pls at least spread the word about it by reblogging on sharing on other social media. (don’t remove the caption duh)

Some spreads from this month. I am less than ten days away from possibly finishing with uni 5eva (or at least until my masters that starts on October if i get accepted). I have one more exam to go after I did well in my Ancient Greek exam on Wednesday, but I worry because I can’t stop procrastinating. I renovated my entire home yesterday because summer is here, the heat is unbearable, and I finally want to chill and work on my novel. Ugh, universe pls give me discipline, I need to graduate!

#so happy for you #also that's my sticker ayy :')
