I honestly wonder: is it possible to lose weight in a feminist, fat-positive way? the answer is probably no but I& #39;m tired of being oppressed lol
like what do you do when your ideology is at odds with what will make your life easier (i.e. conforming)
I guess the answer is to remain a strong advocate and ally and not engage in behaviours that lead to more oppression? (watching my language, not making diet-culture-y content, centring fat activists)
and I shouldn& #39;t feel so bad about wanting to escape the fatphobia that has caused measurable harm in my life, and potential harm it can do (esp. in med contexts) -- even if the only actual way it will go away for good is systemic change
I can& #39;t fault myself for that, especially when it still seems ok to discriminate against fat bodies, even in the most left-wing spaces
