Sometimes I think about how there's a lot of gender expression in the queer community that is just completely and entirely cut off for fat queers.
Like if you're a fat gay man you're a bear and that's the only gender expression you're "allowed". I've never, ever, seen someone refer to an effeminate fat gay man as a femboy. It doesn't matter if he's dressing the exact same way as the twink (who's gender expression is explicitly about thinness), the twink is a femboy twink and the bear is just a girly bear.
I see it over in sapphic spaces too. Butch is a word that yes is open to women of all sizes but Femme really.... isn't? Femme presumes that you're thin. Sure you can be a fat femme, but your fatness will detract from how femme you are and if you do anything less than High Femme Princess Peach ass shit then you'll be shoved into the Butch Zone despite anyone with eyes knowing that you're not butch you're just a fat femme who didn't have the energy to do her full Instagram Cottage Core outfit today
Its been a known both in and out of the trans community that fatness may as well be its own gender experiance. If you're a cis woman, but you're also fat, your gender is now fat. Oh people will still she/her you, but you're gonna be unpersoned because you're not attractive enough to be a woman. If you're a cis man it'll be the same deal, just repeatedly dehumanized because fatness isn't attractive to mainstream society and if people's boners don't activate then you aren't a real man/woman.
In the nonbinary community its extremely painful because the only view of androgyny is "Skinny twink who could pass for either". If you're fat and also some flavor of nonbinary you get to settle for "Mistaken for a trans man/woman" if you're visibly queer.
