Fat Pride: Follow-Up

I saw this image in a bi Facebook community, and I just had to share it. This is what I’m talking about when I say I want to see fat pride and fat acceptance in queer spaces. Short fats, tall fats, black fats, white fats, fats of all kinds! I dream of being in a space where this is not only accepted but is the norm. I love the body and ethnic diversity I see here. I would love to see a disabled fat queer as well. And I need the female bodied version of this.

My wife and I are both suckers for stories of radical self acceptance, whether that’s acceptance of yourself as a fat person, a queer person, a trans person, or whatever kind of person you are. At times it feels like the whole world is trying to make us hate ourselves in one way or another. And practicing radical self acceptance is hard. No one feels 100% awesome every day.

But if you’re reading this now, please know, you ARE awesome. Every little thing about you just enhances your awesomeness. You stunner. There’s no one else out there like you. Go show yourself off with pride!
