The investment of some folks in appearance as a determinant of human value is amazing. This is why #bodyneutrality & #bodyposi (to a different extent) are so important for us. 
If I was a less confident person, more invested in fitting into social norms, these comments are my weight & appearance would be so hurtful. Instead, in this moment of my life, I marvel at the ppl who seek to insult & harm others for existing in our bodies as is, without shame.
My engagement w/ these assholes began bc one took umbrage at my reference to white people as a generalization. I digitally rolled my eyes & then this began with the original troll & two troll friends. I let myself get sucked in too long. Toxic oppressive energy is contagious.
Fat girl thread. CW: dieting
Sometimes I don’t realize I’m hungry until I’m already pretty in need of food. I tend to go from “I could eat” to “If I don’t eat something right now I will stab you” in less than ten minutes. Today I realized one reason why I’m like this.

I spent most of my teens and twenties with an eating disorder, going from fad diet to fad diet, with diet pills, starvation & excessive exercise thrown in. I spent years teaching myself to IGNORE the signs of hunger, to turn it into white noise.
Now, when I want to treat my body with kindness, I am re-learning how to recognize signs of hunger, to listen to my body, in a way that dieting habits have discouraged in me.
Ok last thread before I do actual paid labor today. I can’t engage in debate with someone who elsewhere said they do put not stock in #HealthAtEverySize research bc it could be paid for like alcohol & tobacco industry research, as if #bodyposi is an industry not a movement.
Further, the #dietindustry IS actually an industry that funds research & profits off #fatphobia. But that’s not what I’m here to discuss. Let’s engage with the idea that size is 99% in one’s control.
So this #thoughtexperiment ignores research showing the links between size & genetics, purely engaging with the idea that size is within our individual control & therefore cannot be about marginalization, oppression, privilege & social systems. Let’s begin:
Voilà, on a bien rigolé parce que qu'est ce qu'on a changé depuis 2012 mais on va en profiter pour parler d'un truc pas marrant.
On va parler gras, corps et grossophobie sa mère. [et TCA etc...]
Le terme n'est pas choisit au hasard.

On est moins gros.se.s que l'on ne se SENT gros.se et moi, c'était dans le regard de ma mère.
