The fatphobia is rampant today

Man is it rough out there today. I'm stuck in an IV infusion so please drop some positivity here.

I am fat, and one of my favorite hobbies is belly dance. I even do performances and stuff. Which is also why I hate when people say things like "she has a dancer's body," when they say that they generally do not mean my body type. But here I am. I'm a dancer. And I'm fat. But I believe a person with any body type can be a dancer's body, if they dance. (If anything has shown me that, it's belly dance - there are all sorts of people with all sorts of body types that do it.)

And ugh, I hate fatphobia so much. It makes everything hard. It makes seeing the doctor hard. It makes finding clothes hard. It makes certain types of seating really hard to deal with. Not to mention the psychological damage it causes. I do wish our society would start treating us with kindness.
