I think lots of hexbears could use reading this article. If you've ever thought about or have gone on a diet to lose weight, you should read this article. If you've ever encouraged someone else to go on a diet, you especially should read this article.

Sadly I've even seen my fellow trans comrades pushing this white supremacist line on here many times, which has been very disheartening...

    my kid started copying me and tells her she is pretty too

    hell yeah, what a little sicko >:D

    That's very sweet, I'm glad to hear she has been more willing to accept the truth that she is a gorgeous human :)

    "Why do you even keep in contact with your mom?"

    We talk pretty openly, so I've suggested this many times. I'm queer and not in contact with my family, so I think that makes the proposition easier haha. Just recently they actually decided to go for it after talking through it with their sister. Once the contact has lessened, more space opened up for them to unpack all the ways in which their mother's own hate for her own body has been externalised onto all her children while they were growing up.

      Yeah not looking forward to that part tbh, the question alone brought her close to dissociating for the whole day after, it's gonna be pretty gruesome when/if she starts to detox.

        I'm not sure what you mean tbh. I've found it nothing but incredibly heartening and inspiring to finally see my partner distancing themselves from the toxicity. I wouldn't have it any other way.
