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.

This is what happens when you search Facebook for “Fat Acceptance”. Go ahead, try it for yourself. Facebook has taken it upon itself to literally erase Fat Acceptance in favor of promoting fat shaming and fat stigmatization. When someone wants to find about Fat Acceptance, Facebook has opted to stand in their way and hand out a weight loss pamphlet instead.
Lest you think its because they are just loading content from Wikipedia, when you search “fat acceptance” on Wikipedia, it redirects you to their page for “Fat Acceptance movement”. Someone had to make a choice to silence Fat Acceptance on Facebook. This is what disenfranchisement looks like. This is what marginalization looks like.
Remember this the next time someone is bothered about how fat activists are silencing dieting. And write a letter to Facebook and demand that they stop disenfranchising fat acceptance in this utterly indefensible manner. My considerable thanks to Miss Mary Max and @Sullenmel for letting me know about this total and utter bullshit.
signal boosting for all my fat acceptance peeps. we got some complainin to do!!
Actually, if you click on the blue “Fat acceptance” text, you get this message:
“You were automatically redirected from Fat acceptance to this Page because we detected it as a duplicate. If we’re wrong, please let us know so that we can improve our results.”
Then, there’s a checkbox that says “This is not what I wanted.” Just tick that box. Hope that helps. :)
Except that the alleged Fat Acceptance page still has the Wiki entry for Dieting and NOT the one for Fat Acceptance embedded…AND STILL CALLS IT THE WIKI ENTRY FOR FAT ACCEPTANCE.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5qe9zEyJl1qio7gwo1_500.jpg "allecto:

"[TRIGGER WARNING: Rape] Fat women are treated as utterly undesirable in our culture [and] are often turned into a ‘bizarre’ fetish object. The result is that fat women are told to be grateful for any sexual attention they receive from anyone, whether they themselves find that person sexually appealing or not. In other words, even more than your average women, fat women are only allowed to be occasional objects of desire and are regularly denied their right to have and pursue sexual desires of their own.
That way of thinking becomes very dangerous when sexual violence is mixed in. When fat women are raped, they’re often told they should be grateful that anyone wanted them, or, alternatively, disbelieved because it doesn’t seem plausible that anyone would want them ‘enough to rape them.’ These arguments not only rely on the dangerous myth that rape is about uncontrollable sexual desire (it’s not), but also propagate the message that fat women’s bodies aren’t valuable enough to the culture for their violation to be taken seriously."Jaclyn Friedman, What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex and Safety (via khaleesi) -

“It was and still remains a theory. The guy who gave this crap life was the very same guy who tried to prove women and minority brains were “smaller” than white males. That was nipped in the butt, so why propagate this crap?”

» Love From the Linden Trees: Things I have learned as a fat person (warnings: disordered eating, abuse, harassment, rape, and such)
- Fat people should never admit that they need sustenance, much less like it.
Admitting that you enjoy food while fat will cause the non-fat to criticize you for being unable to control yourself around food. Especially if you have a sweet tooth or like potato chips. Things like that are only acceptable if you are not fat. - Fat people are unable to have eating disorders because if they had eating disorders they would be skinny, not fat. Fat people eat too much and therefore restricting their caloric intake is a good thing, right?
- Fat people do not love physical activity. Fat people do not dance, run, hike, bike, walk, jump, play organized sports, or move their bodies. Fat people never exercise and abhor the outdoors.
- Fat people are never allowed to eat in public or show that they do have the basic human requirement to derive energy from food. If a fat person, for instance, eats a burrito on the way to class they are just asking for rude insensitive comments and cruelty.
- Fat people are not allowed to be sexual, to get it on with a person of their choosing, to enjoy having other people enjoy their bodies, to give and receive pleasure of a physical nature. People who are partners or lovers of a fat person are considered automatically (and while this is sometimes the case, it is not always the case) to be ‘chubby chasers’ or fat fetishizers or somehow noble for loving that poor fatty. Fat people who are asexual or disinclined to physical displays of affection are that way because they can’t get any, not because this is simply who they are.
- Fat people must dress ‘flatteringly’ at all times so as to minimize the impact their fatness has on other people. Fat people must also wear sacks and eschew fashion because fashion is not meant for fatties.
- Fat people must never be proud of their other attributes; they must always be aware THAT THEY ARE FAT AND FAT IS BAD.
- Fat people must not use public transportation or travel or do other things that force other people to come into contact with them
- Fat people must be prepared to see bodies like theirs representative of evil, laziness, greed, excess, cruelty, and other such things which emphasize the idea that fatness is because of an inherent mental or personal flaw and that if you are fat, you are also all these things.
- Fat people must be prepared to answer invasive questions about their diet, exercise, health history, and the like at any given time because if they didn’t want to detail their entire physical makeup for complete strangers, they shouldn’t be fat.
- Fat people must believe that any sign of harrassment, sexual abuse and even rape is a good thing because they wouldn’t be getting any any other way. (actual quote said to me, post-rape).
i know there’s more. Maybe I’ll revisit this in a bit and update it.
#1 (combined with this post) are why I sat here for two and a half hours tonight, getting increasingly hungry, and not getting off my ass to make myself dinner.
Even in my own home, I don’t feel comfortable acknowledging when I’m hungry.
This is why I emailed La Ventana tonight.
Because I am tired of food being the enemy.
Because I am tired of my body being the enemy.
Because I am tired of my fucking brain being the enemy.

» I dressed for Rio: **TW CISSEXIST SLURS** Savage Truth
When people criticize Dan Savage for the hateful, harmful things that he continues to say about trans folk, bi folk, fat folk, vaginas and uteruses, reproductive rights… or any of a number of other people and topics… often we’re told that even if he does say some problematic…
Wide world of THIS.

Every time i see a photo from this Miss Piggy spread, I get a little pissed that these designers will make amazing outfits for a fat pig puppet, but will not make amazing outfits for fat women.
