Tangled Up In Lace

saltnest asked: I thought I would preface this with the fact that I look up to both you and Majestic like crazy. There is one thing that I kind of get sad about, though. Sometimes, it seems like you are just ever so slightly prejudiced against thin people. I was wondering what you would have to say about that?

Well I’m mostly laughing right now to be honest. I think thin people are fine. A lot of my really good friends are thin even. So that should clear things up for you.

But honestly, I love all bodies and I don’t know when I’ve ever given you the idea that I didn’t. 

As a fat person, am I a little bored talking about thin bodies or giving them more space? Fuck yes I am. 

Does that mean I don’t respect thin bodies? No, not at all. 

Just because I spend the majority of my time trying to lift up fat bodies and make space for them, doesn’t mean I’m shaming thin people. It means, I exist in a world that gives thin bodies a lot of things it doesn’t give bodies like mine or POC bodies, disabled bodies, and otherwise “non-normative” bodies and that’s a load of shit I try to flush down the toilet every day

and that’s something I won’t apologize for and I hope you can understand why
