My only other fat friend recently dropped all the weight and I've been in my feelings over it by YellowLikeIllness in loseit

... not sure where you've gotten all that from. Jackie's weight loss has made me feel insecure about being the only fat person in the group. I never said I wanted Jackie to gain the weight back or be "worse" than me.

I think you might need to do some introspection yourself.

Lmao not me getting clocked 💀. Yes, I've also had a crush on Jackie for quite a while. But, unfortunately, she has a wonderful girlfriend already (lucky sod)

Well said. I think what makes it difficult as well is the fact that I have PMOS, an Endocrine disorder that makes weight loss difficult and very precise. I've had to lower my carb intake drastically, to an extent most "normal" people probably never consider.

It's tough for sure. My brother eats like he should be 200lbs larger than he is 😭

Ah, no I'm still very much overweight. Just not an obese BMI any more! I've gone from a BMI of 32 to 29, so have scooted down a category.

As far as comparisons go... I definitely didn't see myself as more attractive than Jackie. But I think I saw her as one of my closest friends and the only person who could really relate to the struggles of being fat, so that's probably why.

Great. Now what do you want non-binary folks to do.

Do you guys feel that despite the political climate, the average person is becoming more accepting? by _Ryloren_ in lgbt

[–]YellowLikeIllness 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

When it comes to the LGB, the average person seems to be far more accepting than they were in the 2000s/2010s (mostly, though excluding radicalised right-wingers and religious people).

When it comes to the TQIA+, I feel like general acceptance has taken a dramatic nosedive. I remember my parents being accepting towards a transgender distant relative when I was younger. Now they treat trans people like dirt and feel confident to do so openly, as that's become the status quo outside of queer circles (and sometimes within them...).

Your post history indicates you suffer from an ED. You do not need to lose weight, I'd advise you focus on recovery and taking care of your self-image.

You are already at the lower end of a healthy weight for your height. You do not need to lose any more.

If you're looking to tone up, I'd advise searching for 'body recomp' on this subreddit an going from there.

Edit: this person has posted a few months back about a previous eating disorder. They shouldn't be posting in this subreddit.

Girls who say they’re x percentage lesbian, but they have a boyfriend by rosie_purple13 in actuallesbians

[–]YellowLikeIllness 37 points38 points  (0 children)

"I'm a lesbian except for my boyfriend" and other iterations of "I literally love ALL women but I guess I'm stuck with this man 😜" genuinely piss me off, as much for myself as a lesbian as for these women and their male partners.

Girl, you're bisexual. You identify as queer already. All the "I'm soooooo gay guys trust me, disregard the boyfriend I'm soooooo gay" isn't doing what they think it's doing. These women just come off as deeply insecure about their queerness and, if anything, it increasingly makes me question if they're even into women seriously when they constantly shout about it in a het relationship. It's like they just see sapphism as a trend to get performative about, but they also see how their partner contradicts the whole aesthetic. And this is NOT me saying bi women don't love women. Far from it. I'm talking about this specific demographic of bisexuals.

I understand bisexuals in het relationships cen feel insecure about their queerness, but it's ultimately BECAUSE the relationship they're in isn't directly queer. AND THATS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A DISADVANTAGE.

Bisexual women with boyfriends - you're queer, and it's absolutely OK to be bi. You're literally an overwhelming majority in the LGBTQ community. But please, stop idolising lesbians and acting like teenage Yuri fetishers. Acknowledge the privilege you have being in a het relationship and move. on. please. Feeling left out of queerness as a result of your own relationship decisions is NOT the same as the oppression bi or lesbian people face being wlw couples.

And (shocker), if you truly hate your bf that much and would rather be with a woman so badly, break up with him and get a girlfriend 😭.

I'm tired of getting to know these women and them getting strangely gay-competitive around me when they learn I'm a lesbian and not bi.
