Please don’t cut trans men and nonbinary people out of the conversation today. This is not just a women’s rights issue, anyone who can get pregnant is affected.

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations This isn't about "life." It's about control.

I'll say this once again - it would be far more logical & effective to give all teenage boys a vasectomy, only reversed when they decide to have kids, than to curtail the right of women & girls - particularly those who have been raped - to decide whether or not to become mothers.

Just noting with astonishment the amount of men who, faced with this little thought-experiment, have replied with "This is brutal!" or "This is unfair!" or "You sound abusive!" I KNOW, RIGHT? IT SOUNDS REALLY FUCKING WEIRD AND CREEPY TO FUCK WITH MENS' BODIES AND CHOICES.

Even if you don’t want to use "fat" as a neutral descriptor, you can still choose terms that don’t medicalize and pathologize fat bodies – larger-bodied, heavier, person of size etc. are all options that aren’t rooted in fat oppression like ob*se and overw*ight are.

When it’s hot AF outside and I’m enjoying an ice cream without guilt, I often have a moment of grief for my younger self who was so wrapped up in diet-culture and fatphobia that she couldn’t allow herself a simple joy. And sometimes I go back for seconds, just for her 🍦💕

Newfoundland is set to become the first Canadian province to add a sugar tax onto soft drinks to incentivize people to make “healthier food choices” Here’s why this is a bad idea.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you are not your eating disorder. It sounds like you, and feels like you, but it is not you. It hijacks parts of you and convinces you that you would not have those parts without it. The eating disorder is gaslighting you.

Fat People: Raise your hand if you've been told to "eat less and exercise more" by a healthcare provider who hadn't bothered to ask what you eat, or how much you exercise. Even if dieting did work (and it doesn't) practicing stereotypes instead of medicine would still be wrong.

Imagine going to the doctors and being diagnosed with cancer but being told “it’s only stage one, come back when it’s stage 4 and we can try and help you then.” This is what happens in ED treatment.

If you are supporting folks with ED recovery and body image, please stop using the term “overweight”. It assumes there is a specific weight that “should” not be exceeded, confirms your allegiance with the fatphobic concept of BMI and communicates your unchecked anti fat bias✌️

Dear Therapists, How we feel about our body and what we do to try and change it influences what we offer our clients who are in disordered eating recovery. We can only take someone as far as we’re willing to go ourselves (Rogers / Bradshaw) ✌️

TW: medical abuse, suicide, self harm Mental health services in the U.K. desperately need to change. This is absolutely heartbreaking, but as a therapist who has worked with folks traumatised by inpatient ED care, it’s not at all surprising 😢 news.sky.com/story/blood-on…

We can’t control other people’s emotions, or how they express them, but we can control how we respond to them.
