They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.

Isn’t Mt. Rushmore sacred to native peoples? Kinda fucked up we put their killers faces on it

[weavemama]

Yes. Before the sculptures were built, the land was sacredly owned by indigenous tribes. In 1980, the land was illegally taken away from them by the supreme court. Not to mention, one of the main people who manufactured the sculptures was literally apart of the KKK… So yeah.. they are more than welcome to flip off these so called “masterpieces”

Anyone know if this is true of false?

maybe this is an unpopular opinion but if a cis girl wants to get top surgery or bind bc itll make her more happy abt her body then i think we should totally support her? theres not really a downside to that. like.. if cis people start doing it, itll become wayyyy more accessible. it’s not like theres only 11 top surgeries to give out a year and the cis people will Steal Those

and like i agree that cis people shouldnt take specifically trans resources like free binders etc but theres Literally no downside to a cis person buying a gc2b binder or something

[autistictaramaclay]

this is a really old post but im coming back to say that i figured out definitivey that i was trans when i first tried binding, and it was in a very unsafe way. these Evil Cis Girls Stealing Binders And Surgeries That They Are Paying For might actually be trans/nb and by supporting them/not judging them when they bind or get surgery we are like. literally saving their ribs from lifelong damage and maybe helping them come to terms with their identity

There’s also the curb cutter effect, named for the way abled people embraced the “cut” curbs intended for accessibility to wheelchair users; basically, what the curb cutter effect means that if something is used by a wider audience than the marginalised group it was made for, the increased demand for that thing will increase its availability and lower its prices, which benefits the vulnerable folks it was made for to begin with! Of course, there are issues of appropriation and taking advantage, so it’s a mixed bag, but isn’t everything?

[autistictaramaclay]

this is partially what i was trying to convey in the op, thank u for putting it into better words!

it’s like when fidget toys became more “mainstream” because neurotypicals began to show interest in them. sure, it’s definitely been used negatively, but they’re now very accessible to anyone who needs anything to fidget/stim with

[blackness-by-your-side]

This boy’s name is Mack Beggs and he specifically asked to compete in boys competition and was denied ‘cause his birth certificate says he was female at birth. Now they complain that his testosterone treatment gave him an unfair advantage over girls. But that isn’t everything. Texas proposed a law that could ban transgender students from school sports. 

“The real intent of the bill is to keep young transgender athletes from participating in sports,” Sylvia Garcia of Houston, told CNN. “We need to make sure they’re free to participate just like everybody else.”

This is so unfair to target LGBT+ youth. They’re already having hard times in their everyday routine. The government still aims to maintain an illusion that there’re only two genders and they even support an anti-trans law to keep trans people from being seen.

This is unbelievable. Don’t let this happen.

Game of Clones is a British game show that asks contestants to describe their perfect soulmate’s looks, then finds 8 exact matches. After dressing them all identically, the contestant completes a series of games to narrow them down to one true love, because, according to the show, when looks between 8 people are equal, all that’s left to go on is personality.  Source Source 2

Wow Robin’s editing for the new Subnautica video is awesome! 

But this part in particular is something that really impressed me about the editing in this video. I’m assuming he edited this in because I doubt you can actually get the Seamoth to say this in the game. xD This is barely 1 second long and he got the text box, the text in general and the audio of the Seamoth saying “AWUGH.” That’s A LOT of effort to put into something that’s not even a second long in almost 21 minute video. But honestly this is one of the reasons why I appreciate Robin’s editing and why I think he’s a very talented editor. I mean we’ve seen him do stuff like this

and all the amazing editing for the Anitsepticeye stuff too. But it’s also little moments like this that I really appreciate because editing like this makes the video so much more fun to watch. Even if it’s for something that’s not even a second long in the video there’s still so much effort and time being thrown in and I don’t think a lot of people who watch the videos realize that sometimes. I think that Robin deserves way more appreciation and credit for all that he does for these videos and for Seán too. 

We love and appreciate all that you do Robin! :D

Hello~

I think people may have noticed I have been absent from this blog for a while. Honestly I just kinda gave up on it. I made it a while ago but it just doesn’t feel right anymore. I have a different blog that I am much more active on so if there is anyone who wants to talk or likes seeing my posts then you can find me @theantihost. I think that eventually I will delete this blog, but for now it will just remain inactive.

[thisisthinprivilege]

I work at a daycare with infants.

One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, she’ll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.

There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, “Why are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?”

My coworker replied, “That’s where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.”

To which the substitute replied, “But she’s so fat. She doesn’t need it.”

Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesn’t think she’s too fat to be allowed to eat.

[thecrazygeek-rant]

This reminds me of a cousin of mine who ended up with her kids being taken away from her by social services for a number of reasons but mostly for nearly killing her baby daughter. How?

By starving her. She insisted that her baby was ‘too fat’ and had an aim to remove any and all ‘chubbyness’ so her baby would be thin. She’d already been warned by her doctor about the baby not getting enough food, but insisted she knew best.

After several months of this her baby passed out cold one day and was rushed into hospital where the doctors found her to have severe malnutrition, a low body temperature and low pulse rate. They asked my cousin what she’d been feeding her daughter and she said “one bottle of skimmed milk a day. I don’t want her growing up fat.”

Even after nearly killing her daughter my cousin maintained her view that fat = bad and ended up with all her kids taken from her because she was starving them and neglecting them.

When your fatphobia leads you to starving your own children then you’ve got serious problems.

(Note. She still, to this day, maintains the view that she was right and the doctors were wrong. “They just want fat kids so they can keep employed treating them for all those diseases that being fat causes.” = her actual words.)

[sinthiasweet]

My mom had me dieting with her when I was eleven. She had me eating less than 600 calories a day because she was worried I was going to “get huge.” She even grounded me once because she found out my friends were bringing me lunches! I ended up passing out, going to the ER, and getting two IVs at once BC I was so goddamn dehydrated. Soooooo surprised they didn’t call child services… And looking back, this was the root of my anorexia. I’m nearly 22 and still fighting it. Please don’t starve your fucking children.

[viergacht]

For fucks sake babies are SUPPOSED to be fat, what is wrong with people? It’s just stored energy, and growing children need stored energy - an 11 year old is just about to hit some major growing years. Damn.

Fatphobia

Is

Real

and it kills

[mexicanxthighs-deactivated20190]

This is no joke. people will literally starve their own babies cause they don’t want them getting fat. A parent brought in their six month old baby who was having breathing issues and kept getting sick. the parent was asked if the baby was eating regularly and the parent straight up told the doctor that they only feed the baby once a day. ONCE A DAY. A FUCKING BABY. they even had the nerve to say because they didn’t want the baby to get fat. people like this are real. they would rather have a dead baby than a fat one.

[bigfatscience]

My youngest son is a very big boy and has been since he was born. When he was 10 months old I took him for his well-baby check and vaccinations. The nurse noted his weight and said, quite casually, “He is in the 99th percentile for weight so he is at risk for obesity. You may want to keep an eye on that.” I said, “He is exclusively breastfed. He refuses to eat any solids yet.” What did she expect me to do? What would it mean to “keep an eye on” an exclusively breastfed baby’s weight? 

She backed off saying, ‘Well he looks fine!” – proving once again that weight bias is not truly about health – But I know many other parents who are not as informed as I am about weight science and size diversity would react to this interaction by policing their child’s food intake, if not as an infant, then when he was an older child. This is exactly the type of seemingly-inconsequential interaction that starts the ball rolling on a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, negative body image, and weight-based abuse for too many fat people.

Years later when he was five, another doctor measured his weight and height and commented that he is off the charts on both, but “at least he is in proportion.” And if he was not “in proportion,” I am sure I would have been advised once again to “watch his weight.” 

I no longer allow healthcare providers to weight my children unless it is absolutely medically necessary. They are unable to control their weight talk, which is a known harm for children.

We need to completely eliminate weight talk from medicine, especially when it comes to children. Even the smallest exposure can have terrible consequences.

A friend from college had been going to the doctor because she was having trouble breathing. She was told to lose weight. Over the course of several years, she went back to the doctors time and time again, telling them that she’d been sticking to the diet but because of her breathing problems she had been unable to even walk for more than 20 minutes at a time. The doctor got her into an exercise programme and told her that she just needed to really try to lose weight because that was clearly the reason for her breathing problems. By the time they found the tumour on her lungs, it was inoperable. She only lived three months after diagnosis. She was 25. She’d had the tumour for over five years. The doctor was so focused on the fact that my friend was “fat”, that they refused to look for any underlying cause. They killed her.

Weight-first treatment KILLS. Fatphobia KILLS.

[lady-yomi-deactivated20171102]

I have 2 scary stories to share about fatphobic doctors & parents harming their childs/patients’ health:

1. The 4 years old daughter of a friend of mine came to our house to spend the weekend. She gave me a letter from her mom that said that the child was in a glutenfree diet because she was getting ‘awfully fat’ when eating cookies or bread (my celiac ass; who gets dhiarrea and loses a scary amount of weight whenever I eat something with gluten was like ’???’).

You can bet that I went to the supermarket with the kid and told her ‘go & take whatever you feel like eating’ and the poor child came back smiling with her arms full of biscuits and cupcakes.

She didn’t got sick (as a celiac would get) and told me later that she hated the diet her mother made her follow; because her cousins didn’t had to pass through that.

And what’s the scariest thing about this story? Her mother was a NURSE. A fucking nurse who didn’t have a clue of the harm that she was doing to her daughter’s body!

2. My little sister started to feel fatigued and dizzy at 9 years old. She felt nauseated at the sight of food and had abdominal pain that increased with physical activity.

Mom got her to the ER and the doctor dismissed it saying: ‘she’s fat and probably is feeling ill after eating too much burgers, get her to make some exercise and she will be better in no time’.My mom didn’t felt ok with the diagnosis and took my sister with a second doctor who also told her that ‘the child was just fat’.

My sister’s skin was starting to get yellow as the days passed and the abdominal pain was getting awful so my mom (heaven bless her!) got her to the ER for the third time:

SHE HAD STAGE 4 HEPATITIS AND WAS ABOUT TO DIE.

She survived after a long and painful recovery who involved being in bed for a whole year (remember that we’re speaking of a 9 years old child). Luckily they saved her liver and she didn’t went through a transplant… but let this sink:

If it weren’t for my mother, fatphobia would have killed her. Fatphobia kills kids and teenagers, fatphobia kills inocent people everyday. It treats human beings as lesser than others and hurts them in their most vulnerable times.

It’s a real shame that we all have so much stories to share about this issue. A REAL SHAME.

i’d really like my thin followers to reblog this if you can. fat people are already here for each other, we need you guys to help us out too. this is something i never see anyone actually talking about in-depth, and it’s disappointing. be there for your fat siblings, too.
