I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.

If I have sex with a woman, it does not make me gay. As someone who identifies as female, it doesn’t even make me a lesbian.

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?

To claim that something is “just politics” is to point out how much privilege you have, either systematically or incidentally.

There’s a lot more to sexuality than meets the eye.

You can learn to live with the pain, you can move on as I have after over a decade of self-reflection and hard work, but you never, ever get over it.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.
