I feel really awkward ordering a “skinny” beverage at Starbucks. But I like the sugar free syrup because soy milk has so much sugar in it already. But saying “skinny” when I order because a) I am not skinny and b) I don’t believe that low fat and sugar have anything to do with being skinny.
That being said, I am more comfortable calling an inanimate object...
You know you spend too much time viewing the world...
…you see the word “trans-fat” and immediately think it means a transgendered fat person.
So disappointing.

On being hot
To quote Finn (Adventure Time with Finn and Jake), “I don’t mean, like, sexy hot.”
I’m talking about feeling over-heated.
Specifically I’m talking about feeling over-heated while being a woman and fat.
I hate feeling too hot. I have always hated it. Most of the time, I would rather be too cold than too hot. It may be in pat due to my love of sweaters and wishing I...
It's kinda funny
How anxious I get before my appointments with professionals to deal with my anxiety.

Mental health, school, and failure: personal...
My life has been a little hectic lately as I try to catch up and make arrangements for my past few weeks of (mental) health issues. Talked to my doctor and counselors and advisors and anyone who could possibly give me some guidance. Have to drop down to a part-time course load and I’m worried it will affect my scholarship, but (apparently) my mental health is more important. I mean, yes, it...

“Trigger warning for partner consent issues, rape”
– At first, I didn’t know what she meant. She spoke so softly I had to lean across the table to hear her. “I don’t want to hurt your feelings,” she said, “but sometimes I really don’t want to have sex. Sometimes I do, but not as often as you want it. And sometimes I want to tell you ‘no,’ but I can’t...

Dear Lady in the Women’s Washroom - By, Ivan Coyote
I can only surmise from our recent interaction that I startled you in the women’s washroom at the mall today. I guess I don’t look much like what you seem to think a female washroom user should. This is not the first time this has happened to me; in fact, this was not the first time this happened to me this week. Forgive me if...

Body Positivity: When is it okay to not love your...
I am big into Body Positivity and loving your own body.
But to say that it means loving your body the way it is right now seems a bit…harmful.
Many (not all) trans people do not love their bodies the way they are at this moment because their body is a different sex from their gender, and that difference is something they hope to one day change. Can this not be body positive? To make...

It isn’t a thinspo blog, but it kept defending thinspo and saying that being triggered by thinspo was discrimination against thin people.

I am so weak today
I couldn’t even go to class or work.
And I can’t even respond to this post that claims thinspo isn’t triggering, and that if you find it triggering then it is offensive to thin people. Like being triggered by an image of someone who has lost a lot of weight and is tagged #inspiration and #skinny somehow means that you hate thin people and find them disgusting.
No.

Hating "Thinspo" vs Hating Thin People
Let’s be clear.
I hate Thinspo.
It uses images of thin women (perhaps one could even argue exploitative images) to “inspire” not-thin women that they can - and should - be thin some day.
Thinspo is by nature hurtful. It encourages people to think that their bodies are not good enough the way they are and perpetuates the myth that the only beautiful bodies are thin ones, and...

Intent matters. If you step on my feet intentionally, for example, we can’t be friends. Like, at all. What is your problem, that you go around stepping on other people’s feet?! That is obviously not something I’m going to put up with. But if you step on my feet by accident, we’ll probably be...
