My Pronouns are Fat/Fatty

I’m also really sick of pretending

That there isn’t a population of queer people

Who live to gatekeep, and that

One of the many demographics

That disqualifies someone from queerness

Is fat–

The very thing that

Lately, I realize,

I am. More than anything I am

Fat.

That is all anyone else sees, so it is now

My main topic.

My pronouns are Fat/Fatty and he/him

Whichever one

Comes first, and whichever one

Allows me to avoid

Talking to people again.
