Re: Straight-sized?

[(Anonymous)]

Um, if it's supposed to be lumping a privileged sexuality together with a privileged weight, it's a stupid fucking lazy-arse term.

Yeah, sure, thinness is correlated with privilege in the West (yes it is go read the studies), but the association is far from simple or rigid, and even though most lesbians I know (am one myself) don't bother to diet like most straight women I know, that's really not a GOOD association to be making in terms of making up a descriptor for "ideal" weight, nor is my observation scientific or universal. (I'm not going to say "normal" because the average, and the median, weight, is above that of "ideal" in Western societies.)

Just don't combine "oppressions", ffs. Different issues.

Not to mention the fact that sexuality is, well, not necessarily set in stone, but less changeable than weight.

Re: Straight-sized?

This is the main reason I get so mad at people trying to act like being fat is anything like being gay/POC/female/trans/disabled/what-have-you.

No, no it isn't. You can lose weight. You can't change your sexuality or race or sex or magically make yourself not disabled.

Sub-thread OP

The "main" reason, huh?

Actually, weight is not that easy for a large number of people to change, because it can reflect lifestyle due to poverty or illness, whatever weight that is. Also, a lot of races don't do well with the Western carb-heavy diets. Some people also just have very stubborn metabolisms.

I feel uncomfortable, like you're implying sexuality is okay because it's "fixed" (and weight isn't) which some people maintain, which is also bullshit.
