regardingstraightpeople:

(Male) straight privilege is heterosexual men being concerned that all gay men will make unsolicited sexual advances, whilst they themselves do so all the time towards women and never think anything of it.

This week’s Fat Bitch E-Course is about reclaiming the word fat. I did it by having my friends own it by spelling out FAT with their beautiful bodies.

A friend of mine has become very body positive and (with some help of our blog) is more open about taking pictures and feeling beautiful. Now, these pictures weren’t taken by Elly or myself, and it wasn’t submitted (because she doesn’t have a tumblr account), but we take ALL submissions just the same. She’s absolutely beautiful.

You all are.

Keep on loving yourselves, fellow body lovers and those of you who are trying to accept your bodies. You’re all worth it. All of you.

We look forward to your submissions, don’t ever be too shy! (:

theaetherealmeadow:

This is the Quigley Scale… this makes radscums’ heads explode. As you can see, the boundary between “penis” and “vagina” is not as clean cut as radscums (and for that matter, cissexist society as a whole) makes it out to be. Radscums, when should you start using the mens’ room? Number 3? Number 4? I should point out that the Quigley scale applies only to androgen insensitivity syndrome. There are plenty of other intersex conditions out there that can produce totally different genital arrangments.

[Image description: a diagram scale showing various kinds of genitals. Number 1 shows what most people would refer to as a penis and scrotum. Number 2 shows a penis with a slit running on the underside, and a scrotum. Number 3 shows a small penis/large clitoris and a scrotum/labia majora (looks a bit closer to a scrotum). Number 4 shows a smaller penis/clitoris with a scrotum/labia majora (looks a bit closer to labia majora). Number 5 shows a vulva with a somewhat large clitoris. Numbers 6 and 7 show what most people would call a vulva with a “normal” sized clitoris.]

This is your daily reminder that self-indulgence can be a form of self-care.

That ‘because it makes me feel better’ is a completely valid reason to do something.

That if something makes you happy then it is not pointless or a waste of time.

That if doing something makes you feel better then it is not something that is unproductive to do.

And that doing things that make you feel okay is just as important as anything else.

“Guide to loving your body:

1. Get naked and take a good long look at your body. Trace your stretch marks, feel your hip bones poking out, place your hand over your tummy and take a fistful of yourself in. Appreciate your scars and pimples, your uneven,large,or nonexistent breasts. Take pride in your un/shaven, un/cut, fantastically odd private bits. Hold up a mirror to yourself and study your body. Love it.

2. Be Ugly, reclaim words that are used to put you down and shut you up and scream right back at these fascist beauty standard reinforcing scumbags. Give them the finger and tell them to kiss your fat/skinny/somewhere in between ass ‘cause you ain’t got time to waste with their body hating bullshit. and remember, you don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Validate yourself by accepting yourself.

3. Wear clothes that don’t fit, that are too big or too small and show all your “problem areas” that cosmo insists you hide and walk down the street like the fucking fabulous queen you are. Sashay the hate away.

4. Do what YOU want with YOUR body. Shave or don’t, wear makeup or don’t, whatever choice you make is yours to make, and anyone who shames you for your decision can keep it moving. This also means respecting the choices of others, even if they differ from your own.

5. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people. Rid of the toxic bullshit in your life if possible, and immerse yourself in a community that embraces body positivity and diversity.

fatandtheivy:

My Fat Body Brought Me To Self-Acceptance, published on RoleReboot

Last week, Kerry Cohen wrote a piece about what it would be like if she were fat. What I gleaned from Kerry’s article is not a representation of the lives of fatties, but rather a case of “at least I’m not as fat as her.” The rules of the game are simple. In order to loathe your body less, you find someone fatter and uglier than you, and then you can be content knowing that even though your body is obviously a disgusting wreck not worthy of love, it could be a lot worse. You could be THAT FAT. The premise of the game is that negative feelings about her body are proportional to body size. I feel frustrated when I read these types of “what if I were fat” articles because there are plenty of fat people strolling about the world happy to tell you what it’s like. We walk among you—you might even know us!—and yet there are still specials with celebrity talk show hosts dressing up in fat suits to tell me what it’s like to be fat. (Because all fat people are actually thin people temporarily trapped in a fat body.) So, to set the record straight, I, an expert fatass, will tell you what it’s like to be fat. (It must be noted that fat is not a monolith; my experiences are shared by many, but are not universal.)

There are actual, physical, institutional problems that fatties face. As I’ve written about here before, chairs don’t fit. Clothes are hard to find, and are all too often both ugly and expensive. There’s open employment discrimination, and fatties are paid significantly less. Depictions of our bodies are limited to montages ofheadless fatties while newscasters profess the dangers of the Fat Rampage or sad fatties in the before picture in a diet ad. Physicians refuse to treat our illnesses and regularly mistreat and abuse us when they do decide to treat us. There are also terrible pervasive myths about the fat body. One is that fat acts as a repellent for male attention. Male attention is not a unit of measure for my value as a woman and my beauty. Even so, my fat body does not repel men. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, but if it were my prerogative, I could get laid tonight before my dinner is delivered. Branching off of that idea is the idea that the fat body is unlovable. No fat person could possibly love or even accept their body. I mean, it’s just so fat! We are all trained to loathe our bodies—I’d argue that it’s part of the capitalist scheme to trick us into buying more useless products, but that’s another essay.

Another myth is the idea that self-acceptance is impossible. This is a myth. It’s not true. The premise of the “At Least I’m Not As Fat” game is faulty. Not all fatties hate their bodies. This is important, so I’ll say it again: Self-acceptance is possible. It does not come out of thin air—empty affirmations will not get you there. A loving relationship with your body, like any meaningful relationship, can only be built brick by brick.

I have been lucky to find wonderfully brilliant, kind, and generous fat people who have helped me to develop the tools necessary to build a loving relationship with my body. These fatties have had enough. They have taken to cultivating a critical resistance to the cultural norms. It is this critical resistance that has challenged my relationship with my body and allowed for self acceptance and sometimes even love. Margitte Kristjansson taught me that I don’t have to explain my fat to anyone. Tasha Fierce taught me how to see that my fat body is sexy. Michelle taught me how to eat—not how to diet or how to eat with the intent of changing my body, just eating. Food. Lesley Kinzel taught me to not step on a scale. Hanne Blank taught me to negotiate boundaries with my physicians.

Through the testimonies of my fellow fatasses and a thoughtful introspection about the lived realities of my life, I have found peace. I accept and sometimes even love my fat body because I see through the lies and deception of diet culture.

My fat body brought me to self-acceptance. That’s more than most thin people can say.

“

The people who get angriest about fat girls looking good and feeling hot are the people who are the most strongly invested in the idea that a person has to be skinny in order to be happy, healthy, and loved.

Very often it’s people just projecting their own body-loathing onto someone else; if you’re truly comfortable and confident in your own skin, it shouldn’t make a difference to you what anyone else is wearing, or how they look. It only affects you if it’s making you question your assumptions, about both other people and about yourself.
