Sizeism & beauty standards in the gay community, and wider LGBTQ community, are a serious problem! Let's talk about it! Ultimately having a skinny white gay guy talk to you about sizeism isn't really what diversity is all about, and there's SO much more to this conversation, so here's some of my favourite voices about eating disorders, body positivity, and self love: Aliss Bonython: https://twitter.com/alissbonyt James Downs: https://twitter.com/jamesldowns I just want to add that you don't need to be worried about me. I haven't checked my weight in awhile and I don't plan to, but I have been filling out more lately and I'm really quite happy with my body, most of the time, even if it's not exactly how I want it to be, if that makes sense. I do try to exercise now and again, but I do it because I want to, not because I'm obsessed with fitting into this bizarre system of beauty standards. And you shouldn't feel the need to let these beauty standards control your life either - although I know first hand that that's easier said than done sometimes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's Be Internet Friends ?: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bradleybirkholz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradleybirk...
