Countdown to Melissa McEwan Losing her Goddamn Mind
"You are making this space unsafe for me personally, a very fat person, by asserting I am "dangerously overweight" and diagnosing my healthfulness (or alleged lack thereof) by virtue of my weight, and you need to knock it the fuck off right fucking now, because I've had just about all the ignorant, body policing horseshit from this community I can take this week."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity
"Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems."
That shit is like saying that you're cancer-shaming someone who has cancer by saying that their cancer might be dangerous to their health.
"You are making this space unsafe for me personally, a cancer-having person, by asserting I am "dangerously tumorous" and diagnosing my healthfulness (or alleged lack thereof) by virtue of my cancer, and you need to knock it the fuck off right fucking now, because I've had just about all the ignorant, tumor-policing horseshit from this community I can take this week."
I feel really uncomfortable with all this tumor-policing going on.
I find it so offensive when you treat my cancer as if it's a medical condition. There's no "normal" number of malignant tumors in the human body...that's a fiction invented by the patriarchy to cancer-shame women into submission.
Whoever Joe is, I love him like a brother with whom I am in an unconsummated relationship.
