There is one very important thing I need people without major dietary restrictions to understand: the distress caused by allergies, celiac disease, and other food restrictions is largely not about the food.

Do I miss some foods I can't eat anymore without getting sick? Sure, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is being excluded from a huge portion of human social life of which food is a crucial component. What bothers me is the stress and social stigma of trying to figure out what I can safely eat. What bothers me is the amount of extra work and cost that is required of me to identify, obtain, and prepare safe foods. What bothers me is people treating my needs like a nuisance, as though I chose to be like this - as though their brief inconvenience to check an ingredients list is unreasonable, when I deal with this every day of my life forever.

I don't miss the food that much. I miss not having to worry about what I eat. I miss freedom. I miss when trying new foods and new restaurants was fun instead of a minefield. I miss not having to plan my entire life around the need for safe foods.

Food is such a basic human need, and a lot of people don't really need to think about it. When your danger foods can be anywhere and everywhere, suddenly your entire life revolves around avoiding them, and it massively sucks. You get used to it and it's not a big deal most of the time, but then you go to a new restaurant, or your office has a potluck, or you've been invited to a party and suddenly it feels just as miserable and exhausting as it ever has.

The being left out part is so..... Profound. For me. Oh, the cookie place has gluten free options? Wow that's great what are they? Oh, a sugar cookie or a chocolate chip cookie, cool, and what are you getting? Oh a triple decker white fudge sprinkle supreme, ah, that's great....

Like, it's great when places have gluten free options but they're inevitably like, two choices, and things you can get anywhere while your friends are getting wierd fun unique things.

Or, you go to a restaurant and they have a gluten free menu, wow, great!...... Oh it's all quinoa bowls, salada with the croutons removed, plain grilled chicken with plain roasted vegetables. So while your friends and family are getting to eat fun things you're eating something you could easily make at home. Or at the breakfast place you're stuck eating health food while everyone else is eating crepes and waffles and pancakes heaped with whipped cream and shit.

It's just depressing, its like, wow, thanks for phoning it in. Thanks for making me feel isolated and bad. I love it.

And then if you complain people without food allergies are like 'what, but, they have gluten free options, why aren't you excited and grateful'

I used to follow a vegan diet because of food allergies, that I have since outgrown.

I got lucky with that.

But I am never going to forget the hassles. Going to visit friends for the day and having to bring a packed lunch and dinner because their parents don't know how to cook for vegans.

Everyone going for Ice Cream, getting fancy waffle cones and multiple flavours and flakes and sprinkles, and me paying $3 for a fruit juice popsicle that comes 10 to a box for less than a tenner at the grocery store.

Potlucks at church or group barbecues and the only thing I can eat is what I brought myself. Birthday parties where you try to find out in advance what sort of cake they're having so you can find or make something similar yourself.

Went round to a friend's for dinner once, when I was at university, and she knew my dietary restrictions. Plan was to have pasta, and I'd helped her find a pasta sauce I could eat, made sure she was using dry noodles and not egg noodles. And then in the end I couldn't eat it because we realized after they'd been mixed into the sauce that she'd sautéed the mushrooms in butter.

It's not just the being left out, either. The hyper-vigilance wears too. There is SO MUCH STRESS over diet if yours is restricted. Especially if the restrictions are severe, cause it's not just finding stuff you can eat, it's making sure you are getting enough of the right nutrients.

I know people with dietary restrictions who have had SCURVY. Osteoporosis so bad that some of their bones just... disintegrated. Not enough left to show up on an x-ray. And you can't necessarily just take supplements.

I was iron deficient as a toddler. Because of the aforementioned vegan diet due to allergies. They couldn't prescribe iron supplements to me. Because at the time they were ALL blood based. They had to find dietary alternatives (Stout. Spinach. Kale.)

Anyway. It's improving with regards to the food. There are SO MANY MORE options than there were 20, 30 years ago, when I was a kid.

But that doesn't help with the exclusion and it doesn't help with the hyper-vigilance.

white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that's still black girls. it's always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don't make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a "riot" segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you're experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.

[paper-mario-wiki]

serenely reblogging this once more after deleting responses from white people saying "talking about this is actually unhelpful because im oppressed too" yeah i know. i wrote that down in the post i made, and i also wrote down why remembering the difference is important. did you read it?

there is no malice in my reminder. no "you need to do better", just a reminder. do not read it as such. i didn't write it as such.

[paper-mario-wiki]

again. i did not say you were not oppressed. this post is literally about how you are oppressed. it is a reminder that you are not the most oppressed person in the world, a way i've seen a lot of white transfems acting lately. maybe not even necessarily in a detrimental way, but in a way that definitely leans towards the "white is default" lane of thinking, which erases black suffering, which erases progress towards black safety. this, to me, is troubling, which is why i made this post. it's important when building solidarity within our community to understand who the most vulnerable of us are, because the safety of the most vulnerable of us will ultimately be the safety of all of us.

please do not be offended when you are reminded that your skin is white. im not calling you evil. im asking you to remain aware of yourself.

wow, look at that, a black trans woman saying the exact thing i said, except she said it a year ago and it didnt get as much traction.

"weird! i wonder why!" she exclaimed, whitely.

please read it. it's not long.

[storyweavingspider]

Thing is that I’m not the only Black trans woman writing theory on transfeminism, Black transfeminism, or trans intersectionality - I’m just lightskinned and won’t shut up so I’m one of the most visible ones, and crackers STILL get mad at me for saying the most basic-ass concepts like “white people are still white even if they’re otherwise marginalized”

In many cases, intracommunity racial intersectionality fails because given the choice between solidarity with nonwhite trans people and white people (trans or cis), white trans people will almost always side with other whites in the hopes of preserving a degraded position within white supremacy, because they internally see being “lesser” within whites supremacy but still above nonwhites as preferable to solidarity with nonwhites that loses them that positionality.

[storyweavingspider]

I wanna toss this link on here because it’s directly related to the whole “lack of intracommunity solidarity when race is involved” thing and has a specific example from my local community.
