Thank you and happy chatting!
a few months ago i had pneumonia. i'm young and relatively healthy, so there was no real danger or whatever, but i completely stopped eating, i just wasn't hungry in the slightest. i had maybe 3 meals over the course of two weeks and couldn't finish them.
when i told my dad that, his response was "well, you must have lost some weight!" as a positive thing. genuine fucking insanity. the thing that really gets me is that there is a 0% chance anyone would EVER say that shit if i were amab. like, don't get me wrong, i'm sure this stuff effects everyone to a degree, but so much of it is pure fucking sexism
i'm sorry i dont have any advice for you other than "overthrow the patriarchy" comrade, but honestly knowing that this shit it baseless misogynistic nonsense and that i'm in the exact same boat as every woman on earth has always helped me. you see women of all sizes being subjected to this shit, and it just makes it so clear that its not actually about size or health or whatever, its about condemning women for daring to be real living biological lifeforms rather than purely aesthetic 2D tradwives.
