… more aged, differently-abled and transgendered bodies in the body positivity movement.

Me too!

I always want to include more marginalized bodies over at The Size Issue. It started out a size positive blog but it’s mostly supposed to be a body positive/love-yourself kind of thing.

The problem is, I ID as fat/chubby, so snagging other people who do and reblogging them doesn’t feel awkward, whereas sometimes I feel a little bit weird about being like “yay (other marginalized bodies)!” and as if I’m stepping in where I don’t belong. Maybe this is dumb?

I mean, I’m not aiming to post “thin people who are marginalized in some other way and also fat people” — mostly because I think trans and differently abled people have as many issues with weight as they do with other things (you can find a LOT of slim rockstar androgynous people, for instance: not so much fat), and more to the point I also don’t want to trigger my readers — but I also give a pretty large leeway about weight on that blog anyway since I think body diversity is pretty important and thin people shouldn’t be shamed for their size either. So, yeah. I guess to answer my own question, it’s more important to be inclusive than to be comfortable? Any thoughts?

On that note: the blog bodilydiversity is actually really good, I just followed them. They don’t post a ton but it’s quality. (NSFW; it’s actually mostly a sex-positivity blog).
