Everyone needs to read this piece by the incredible @marquisele,
Replying to @pipewrenchmag
It’s time — long past time — to shift our thinking. “You—whoever you are—cannot hope to help create a new world that holds fat people in all their plenitude if you don’t love us, if you don’t truly believe we deserve to be held.” @marquisele pipewrenchmag.com/dismantlin…

fat people deserve to experience joy, love and fulfillment like everyone else. I promise it’s out there and you don’t have to change your body to get it.

I talk about it a lot, but 12 year old me wanted so much. wanted things she never thought she could have. I have them. I am the person I dreamt of being, & the person I needed at that age. I'm fat, I have everything I ever wanted, & I didn't need to change my body to get them.

growing up I was made to believe that I wasn't allowed to have a fulfilling life if I was fat. I thought I had to be thin to be happy. I felt like I didn't *deserve* happiness in this body. now, at 21, I am living the life I dreamed of having, all while existing in a fat body.
