Rant incoming concerning fatphobia:

I find it superrrr vexing and distasteful whenever someone threatens me with the 'do you want to become fat' thing. I understand that since my natural body frame is being thin, it'd indicate bad things for my health if I do become fat (if you're naturally born big, then getting bigger probably won't mean anything too bad) but I just deeply resent the underlying implication of it all. Like ofc it's better for me in a societal sense to be thin, especially since I don't have a thick skin to negative comments at all, but like?? If you want to scold me in order to make me eat more healthily, just cite health reasons! There's literally no reason to bring up fatness!! What's everyone's deal?? Is it a crime to be fat?? Smh 💀

Some ppl act as if ppl automatically become ugly when they're fat which is just blatantly untrue. And in the first place I'm not even particularly good-looking so it's not gonna be the end of my world if I get bigger. Ofc if being fat negatively affects me physically and/or mentally then I think those are good causes for concern but at least lead with that if you're truly concerned about me for god's sake

#tate lin posts #fatphobia #body neutrality #btw i'm on the camp of believing that it's not necessary to love or even like your body #but it is necessary to be comfortable in it and have it be a good body that can last you to elderly-hood without causing too much #or if any problems #at any rate i just hate the feeling of being bullied into sth by society #i'm aware that i have some self-esteem issues but my confidence isn't that low either!!#i have pride too!!#SIGH #anyway don't mind me i'm just really irritated rn #btw this vent is brought to you cause of my mother who considers herself fat #but if you ask me she doesn't look like an atypical woman at all #a lot of ppl are around her size #and she's my mother so obviously to me she's really pretty #most ppl who think they're fat actually aren't imo #comparison to media just makes them feel fatter than they actually are #and it's not that i don't have flab i absolutely do cause i'm the most physically unfit in this household #both my sisters go to the gym and they're twice my size does that make their 'fatness' their fault?? no.
