I LUV BAD BITCHES THAT MY FUCKIN PROBLEM
Oh, but this is not a matter of “glorifying” obesity. Glorifying obesity would take multiple TV shows depicting fat folks riding unicorns and devouring warm pies whilst counting the bags of money they’ve gained from being fat. Indeed, if simply putting fat people on television was enough to “glorify” obesity, then The Biggest Loser should have done the trick years ago. It hasn’t, because The Biggest Loser is a show built on the humiliation and punishment (self-inflicted or otherwise) of fat people. When we say that putting fat people on television will “glorify” their bodies, what we really mean is that we are uncomfortable giving fat people any attention that is not overtly negative. Because fat people need to be told: don’t be fat. Being fat means you are not entitled to a normal life. Being fat means you are not entitled to love. Being fat means you are not entitled to humanity, much less dignity.

Every day is a “fat day” for me.
Because I’m fucking fat.
If you want to stop having self-doubt days, go right ahead. I will support you in any way that I can.
But fuck you for saying that the days you feel gross and lazy and unsuccessful are your “fat days.”
Because my fat days are full of love, and compassion, putting up a fight for those that I love, feeling beautiful, and fighting against those who would rather see me fail.
Fat is not a bad word, and it’s not the reason for your shortcomings. So stop it.
…So, in response to my Nihilism and Thin Privilege blog from a couple of entries back, I got a fairly fucking angry response from someone who has way too much time on their hands. For a kick-off, I think that’s the first time I’ve ever been shouted because someone…
Fat girl wearing blue lipstick, high waisted shorts, and a crop top with horses on it BECAUSE I CAN.
So when’s the day of fat rememberence?
Because fat people are dying all over the place. Bullied into suicide, doctors refusing to treat them, murder, negligence, abuse.
So when is it?
Oh right.
