#fatmisia tw
it’s weird when i step outside of my firmly anti-diet social circle and hear a person talking about doing some pretty severe calorie restriction as if that’s totally normal. like how the fuck do i even begin explaining to someone i barely know that eating only 1300 calories a day is extremely bad for you and that basically everything they think they know about nutrition is false.
the average thin person is so afraid of becoming fat that they’ll do things which are extremely bad for them on every level with zero upsides (calorie restriction is even likely to cause future weight gain!) and this is completely normalized in mainstream culture. anti-fat discrimination is so deeply ingrained in the systems of our society and it’s so fucked.
Diet people never even seem to remember that a calorie is only a measurement of energy, specifically the energy it takes to raise the temperature of water by one degree. Theres no single solid definition of what a “calorie” is in your food and most labelling of such is just spitballing but people talk about it like it’s a literal 1 to 1 measure of how fat a food will make you.
terfs arent feminists isnt the same as denying that there are bigots in feminism. its meant to be that feminism should be intersectional, and that means forcing terfs out of feminist spaces, that they do not fit what feminism should be about, and that terfs should not be included in feminist spaces. that is what i am meaning with that post of mine. terfs use feminism as their excuse for bigotry - they should be forced out of feminist spaces, because their bigotry does not fit the values of what feminism should be and what intersectional feminism is.
