TW for discussion of eating disorders and body shaming
Since I had this exchange with @krispykrememothnuts I thought I'd look more into this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And yeah, the fashion industry has an issue with making clothes that fit short men and fat men.
This is something that affects transmascs and cis men.
The fashion industry isn't friendly to any fat person but I think it tends to be more lenient towards short women because it's more acceptable for them to be short.
Meanwhile, men should be tall according to the beauty standard.
We know that eating disorders are extremely common among cis men and transmascs (Cis men: Source 1, Source 2, Source 3. Trans men: Source 1, Source 2. Gay men: Source 1, Source 2, Source 3.)
And it doesn't help that all the representation in fashion that we get are tall dudes with abs that can (usually) only be achieved through dehydration, restricting diets and intensive work-outs. And that it's considered acceptable to make fun of people for their height, weight, hairline, face, as long as it's men.
And as I mentioned in the comment, not being able to find men's clothes that fit me I have to buy women's clothes that make me dysphoric and usually show my bra or binder straps, which immediately clocks me as not-a-man.
It's also important to note that a TERF talking point is that transmascs transition because of eating disorders. While it's possible that gender dysphoria and eating disorders have a link, it's not a cause-effect situation, i's more of a comorbid condition.
Looking into transmasc eating disorders could disprove this TERF theory but alas no one cares enough about transmascs to do a research only about our experience with eating disorders and trans people are usually treated as a homogenous group.

Just read a Facebook post from the parent of an autistic child who would only eat a few specific foods in which the gist of it was:
"We couldn't get him to try anything new 😞 We tried sneaking things into his safe foods, force-feeding him, and starving him but nothing worked! Then, we had this amazing idea to try actual parenting and he miraculously started trying new foods!"
And my instant reaction was to go "Wtf is wrong with this person" but the entire comment section was full of "Omg so inspirational 🥹" as if this parent's first option being to starve their child over treating them like a human being was not horrifying and a great example of the dehumanizing of disabled and neurodivergent children

No one talks about this so here's a small reminder to keep your eyes on your own plate. If a skinny person is refusing food, it does not necessarily mean a) they have a restrictive eating disorder or b) they are calling you fat. Mind your business.

she'd gotten separated again, turning left when she should have gone right and soon sophie found themself wandering the maze all alone again, mind starting to grow foggy and stomach beginning to hurt. gods, she needed to eat soon.. how long had she even been in this maze by now? a day? but as she moves, debating grabbing the corn right from the stalks, she stumbles into another, about to apologize for the distracted mistake until they see who they had ran into. "you--"
@tragcdysewn for qi rong ( prompt 17 - characters are hit with a sudden strong sense of hunger. though there is corn all around them it would take time to cook. on the other hand there is fresh meat right in front of them in the form of their company in the maze. )

*Trigger warning for eating disorder talk*
I hate how whenever I eat anything my brain is like "You should kill yourself. Now." Like what's your fucking problem
#tw ed#it's like bitch the body needs nutrients to function. idiot. that's how flesh vessels work. what are you an alien?#but my brain is always like 'booo you are a disgusting ugly bitch and as a punishment you can't eat at all tomorrow.'#like...ok then. i guess.#the funny thing is that it's also like two people fighting because like i hate what i see in the mirror from both sides#like one part of me is like 'ahhh we are far too skeletal it looks kinda creepy and Not Good'#and the other is like 'wow ew we're so disgusting and big and our bones aren't visible enough. what would our family say?'#so there's like no winning at all because if i don't eat one side will get mad and refuse to look in the mirror#and if i do eat the other side will go into total hysterics and I'll have to sleep completely covered up and will have to avoid#all mirrors because it will completely distort our perception of ourselves and will claim changes that aren't there and it will#force me not to eat for a day or two and probably also to walk everywhere#it also sucks because i think not eating enough might be contributing to me feeling so shallow and fatigued and disinterested in everything#but i have no idea because I don't know how many calories I'm actually getting#and it's really Bad™ for me to count because I'm a little bit too competitive and my brain has historically always made it#a challenge to eat as few calories as possible. because I'm insane and treat literally everything as a competition that i have to win

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS!
I COOKED A THING
I do this kinda frequently and am usually quite good at it, but you need to understand please you must know...
I did not have a recipe for this.
I pulled shit out of my brain (tablespoon butter, quarter cup freshly cut onion, 1 stalk thinly sliced celery, tablespoon flour, half cup parmesan, cup milk, torn up hamburger patty that I didn't want in sandwich form so I bullshat this instead, rice) and I made something that tasted good! It was technically modeled after another recipe, but given that I did not reference it and estimated the measurements, I'm still so proud guys!
This gives me hope for my adulting capacity!
