Hey guys!

I’m Currently working on a spreadsheet of books with fat main characters. I’ve added all of the fat positive books that I have personally read, plus quite a few from my tbr. I plan to keep researching and adding more but my scope is limited so I’ve also made a form for people to submit books to be added.

The goal of this list is to provide people with representation and to promote fat acceptance. That being said the books you submit don’t necessarily have to be positive rep. The only requirement is that the book is fictional and has an explicitly fat MC.

I have a section in the sheet that tells you whether the character loses weight before the end of the book and I might add a section for other content warnings if that ends up feeling necessary.

Hopefully this can turn into to a good resource for people!

PCOS is an intersex variation, full stop. The reason that's controversial is that just accepting it as one undermines the gender and sex binaries.

The idea that we're just rare mutants that need to be fixed, or can be ignored for the sake of the majority, would further begin to fall apart. Recognizing people with PCOS as intersex makes it harder for them to treat people with PCOS like broken women.

Doctors treat their intersex traits as a malady that needs to be fixed. Even in the case of a cis women with PCOS and gender dysphoria or health issues, the treatment is so often laced with intersexism and coercion. There is no real choice given, and no affirmation of one's body as worthy of respect regardless of what it looks like.

This isn't unusual in the treatment of intersex people - people do try to hide from us the fact we're intersex (entirely, or by saying we have a disorder instead). But by not even considering people with PCOS under the umbrella, they prevent them from finding community with people like them, and advocating for themselves.

This is all to say, people with PCOS are not less intersex than other intersex people. They are just as intersex, and face all the scrutiny that comes with it. But more than that, they are integral to intersex liberation - and queer liberation overall. Your story as an intersex person with PCOS matters. We need you, and we want you with us.

May you find peace, community, and healing. May you find comfort and home in your body. May you find health and wellness. You are loved, and you belong - just as you are, and have yet to become.

Sincerely, a trans intersex person who doesn't know if it's PCOS or something else.

I am genuinely v curious because mine is from lovehoney but I know the vast majority of ppl who buy silicon or foam packers will get them elsewhere. I once crocheted my own packer but it didn't work very well and in future I would make it much heavier somehow

I’m pretty new when it comes to crochet, but I thought it would be nice to make roses to give to people to brighten their day. I have 20 made so far.

A blackout poem I made from a religious pamphlet

Life of starving children

A young boy distressed asked

“Does God know about this?”

“Yes, God knows about that”

The boy walked out

Uninterested in such a God

God is
