It’s interesting* being a fat person and having to put up w/ a society and chatter all around me that is constantly saying fatphobic, hateful, ableist lies about health and totally unnecessary moralizing about food and the constant telegraphing that a body like mine is pitiable and disgusting and bad bad baaaad AND THEN when we fat people dare to say any version of like “hey, can y’all just not for a sec?” having thin people who want a gold star emerge ONLY to say “It’s not me! I swear! I’m soooOooOoo totally different. My weight obsession is just about my own body! I’m not judging you, live laugh love!!!”

*what I really mean is tedious, annoying, and exhausting beyond words.

I used to say this all the time, but if something is not about you, don’t fucking make it about you. It’s revealing to a degree you don’t want to pop up being like “I’m a good one!!! I swear!!!” when I complain about this kind of shitty treatment but not to ever do so as an ally to mitigate the shitty treatment in the first place. Sigh.
