You make me smile and my eyes twinkle. I have thought of our conversation countless times as I walk through the streets in the day and in the night. I think about only managing a "No!" but bringing it to my breast and in my arms during a What Would Jesus Do moment

While reading this, I thought of my own experiences in Chicago and thought of my presence on the streets, which I think exudes "don't fuck with me" -- especially as I'm a fat girl. In a way, I think being fat AND being ok with it really disarms people, especially those that buy into the heteronormative patriarchal standard of beauty.

And there are other things that disarm people as well, but for me -- this is the one I feel most strongly.

I won't assume this applies to you, but my recent experiences in the political fatactivist community have led me to realize I'm not alone in this....though there are many other battles and harassments that fat women have to battle with on the daily.

"fuck your mother"
en espanol: "chinga tu madre"
