The -phobia’s
I don’t, personally feel
That transphobia, and homophobia
Are worse in 2021, or soon to be
2022, than fatphobia.
Xenophobia is worse for sure.
Racism seems to be peaking, but I’m youngish, so idk–
I think it’s pretty odd
That there are so many
Internet queers screaming about
Transphobia and homophobia
Because of Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Tumblr ect.
I think it’s even weirder
That I have to pretend
As if the awkwardness
That I’ve had meeting my
Partner’s friends and family
Has something to do
With my gender and sexuality, when
In reality, they all just seem
Confused and disappointed
That my partner, a marathon runner,
Or my ex, a personal trainer
Is/was hooking up with some neckless fat thing
They can’t respect!
Being trans is honestly
Just a thing they come to, after someone tells them–
They always think
I’m a fat man
With the biggest tits they’ve ever seen,
Proportionally, at least.
I don’t want to keep making this resource
Insisting
That transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, panphobia
All the other phobias
Are real, and that
Somehow
Fatphobia, the phobia I’ve been
Thrashed with my entire life, is somehow
Not a thing! LMFAO
Ya’ll–
I would sooner say
That homophobia is dead
Than ever say something as stupid as
Fatphobia, and thin-privilege
Don’t exist.
I can’t imagine being that privileged —
I’m jealous! But,
Not of all the hatred.
I don’t have enough hatred in my heart
Or in my bones
To talk to anyone
The way I’ve been talked to, perhaps
I need to spend more time on reddit
So I can learn to be
A proper idiotic, empathy-less, perspective-less asshole
As for things like
Being denied medical treatment due to your identity,
Being misdiagnosed and mistreated by professionals–
Fat people experience that
Intersectionally, more than
Any other demographic.
