No one is discriminating against you,
You’re just trying to get attention”

“You must be misunderstanding—
No one is discriminating against you,
You’re just trying to get attention”
When someone experiences transphobia
Transphobic people say
“You must be misunderstanding—
No one is discriminating against you,
You’re just trying to get attention”
When someone experiences homophobia

You’re just trying to get attention”
When someone experiences fatphobia
Fatphobic people say
“Lmao— close! But no…
No one discriminates against fat people
You’re just trying to get attention.
Stop trying to make people feel bad for you
Thin privilege isn’t real, I have
An eating disorder that forces me to see myself
As fatter than I am, so clearly
My self-perception is flawed, but yours—
Yours must also be totally wrong.
Fat people get what they deserve”—
Just go ahead and start slut-shaming next
If you’re gonna talk about who deserves what
You might as well just go all in!
Fucking fake woke “ally” pieces of shit.
