Old Me: Would have been mortified by this photo. I saw “fat” as a slur - something to avoid and disassociate from at all costs. I had been taught, like most people, that being fat was ugly, shameful, unquestionably unhealthy, and one of the worst things a young woman could be.

❤️‍🩹 Me Now: I know that “fat” is just an adjective - like tall, short, or thin. It only feels like an insult if you believe being fat is bad, and I don’t. Rejecting narrow beauty standards means rejecting the fear of fatness that upholds sexism, racism, ageism, and weight bias. Reclaiming “fat” as a neutral word is, for me, an act of unlearning, resistance, and self-acceptance.

❓What’s a word you were taught to fear that you might see differently now?

Recientemente un grupo de mujeres comenzaron la campaña #FatisNotaFeeling, para remover el #emoticon FAT/GORDA de Facebook a traves del sitio change.org. Es cierto que cuando comemos mucho, nos sentimos gordos (me ha pasado)... Pero esta petición no fue realizada por un chiste, fue realizada por mujeres que sienten que este emoticon puede ser perjudicial para personas con desordenes alimenticios. La petición fue firmada por casi 17.000 personas al rededor del mundo, logrando una respuesta positiva de Facebook y adicional a eso la eliminación del emoticon que hacia referencia a sentirse FEA. ¿Qué opinan de esta noticia?

It can trivialize people's experiences, or encourage people to put out body-negative ideas and have other people validate that
