[ID: softly colored digital art of Hunter, Gus, and Willow from the Owl House holding hands in a circle. They’re playing in the rain on earth, standing under a streetlight. Willow leans slightly back, pulling Hunter with her as Gus jumps, presumably to splash the both of them when he lands. Beneath their feet are swirly puddles, bright where the streetlight hits the ground. They’re all laughing brightly. End ID]
Let’s get a round of applause for fat trans people round of applause for fat trans people
Some NPC bases for a game im making, some skin tones for variety. Am working on walking and run animations.
EXACTLY!
I wholeheartedly believe that straight men are envious of gay men and their relative freedom from patriarchal pressures. A gay man can walk into a bar and order a “girly” cocktail if he wants to. He can cry and be outwardly emotional. He can be vulnerable and sensitive. He doesn’t always have to be “in charge.” These pressures slowly crush cishet men and when they see someone free of that weight they feel a deep jealousy.
It occurs to me that this is something homophobia and fatphobia have in common.
So many diet cultists lose their minds when presented with a fat person who isn't miserable and shame-ridden and celibate. They view thinness as a prerequisite to having basic human dignity, in the same way that homophobes/transphobes view gender conformity as a prerequisite to having basic human dignity.
Body policing is the same.
Yup, not to mention that fat people undergo gender policing as well, in the form of extreme commitment to gender presentation being viewed as "bare minimum effort." Being fat and trans or GNC is severely punished by society.
