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...
Thank you for this article!! I wish my wife could see herself the way I see her.
CW internalised fatphobia
She once showed me videos of women three times her weight to tell me that this is how she sees herself and why she's grossed out by her body, but when I asked her if she thinks those women are gross she said no.
She has been dieting hardcore now, for months, lost so much weight with the goal of getting into double digits. This is against her binge-eating to cope with trauma, her PCOS, her having little time to cook healthy and all her quirks around what she cannot eat, or what makes something inedible for her.
I pray it brings her relief.
I hope you tell her that often! I've found incessant compliments somewhat effective, but different people might react to that differently.
