Happy international lesbian day!
Reminder that:
• lesbian isn’t a dirty word
• lesbianism has always included trans lesbians
• not every lesbian is cisgender
• lesbian is not interchangeable with bisexuality or pansexuality, and the new craze of “bisexual/pansexual lesbians” isn’t a valid thing
• a stud is referring to a black lesbian specifically
• a butch lesbian and a feminine lesbian couple aren’t trying to act like a man and a woman in a relationship, not everything revolves around heterosexual couples
• there is no “man” in a lesbian relationship, that’s the whole point, so don’t ask “which one of you is the man and which one of you is the woman in the relationship?”
• lesbians aren’t predatory and a lesbian coming out to a straight woman does not mean she wants to date her
my new roommate said that her last roommate had an eating disorder and then talked to me about her clean eating and weight loss goals and how she buys clothes that are a little snug to motivate her to lose more
and like honestly? i have anorexia but this is why i constantly talk about the dangers of the “health and fitness” industry and diet culture bc we have essentially normalized certain symptoms of disordered eating but it’s ok if it’s under the guise of health i guess???
like how is calling it “clean” eating NOT a way to moralize food
how is intermittent fasting NOT the same thing as skipping meals
how come when i buy clothes that don’t fit, it’s something i have to tell my therapist about because it means i am putting pressure on myself to fit into them, but if a “normal” person does it then it’s just motivation for them?
where is the fucking line???
and more importantly when are we going to start acknowledging that the entire world is pro-ana but that’s too harsh of a description so we slap some health buzzwords on it to make it palatable
when are we going to take responsibility for encouraging disordered behavior instead of labeling those of us with EDs as the crazy/imbalanced ones
your fucking Whole30 or keto or whatever “clean” diet you’re on is just as restrictive as the diets we create for ourselves due to our disorders. but we are the crazy ones, right
