Yes... I've lost my appetite.
I've lost my appetite for your approval. I say no to being a "real woman" - as long as you decide what that means. Why does your body decide whether or not you are a woman? Why do we care so much about "curves" and bones and sexiness, and femininity and fracking genitals. That does not make me a woman!
I reject this false feminist cry, the same old chains of body image wrapped up in sparkly girl-power packaging. Real health messages are overpowered by the message that you should be sexy... and have curves. "Don't you want to be sexy for the menz??" they cry. And I want to shout "NO!"
I love you boys, but I don't want to be sexy for you. I just want to be treated like a human being. I just want to watch Star Trek and laugh at jokes in Klingon... and drink tea, and go to college, and go dancing, and wear ruffle dresses and high heels, and dance to god-awful campy manufactured pop music. And if I get better, its gonna be for me, and my health, and my happiness, and for the sake of the people I love.
I don't want to be sexy for some random "menz", okay?
