Fuck Yeah Trans Fats

I see there's been no updates in a while. Are you still out there?

Yes, this blog does still exist and the mods are active on tumblr (outside of trans fats). However we are mostly submission based and haven’t been receiving any submissions as of late.

I always think it's funny that one of my arms has a fat roll and the other one doesn't

This is my favorite new outfit. The top (black sheer with a metallic tiger’s face) is a perfect example of my fierce gender mode and the pants (purple plaid skinny jeans) are my sassy gender mode.

This is my fiancee and I. She’s the one in the background, and I’m the one in the foreground. This past weekend, we decided to attempt giving me a much-needed haircut since my hair was starting to turn into a mini ‘fro. It’s also a really cute picture of us. ^_^

By the way… Milan. 26. Transguy. Naperville, Illinois.

I promise I don’t bite (hard)!

it's a sea of white because POC never post here. They need too!! C'mon! (different anon)

Actually we’re not going to blame POC for not posting in our tumblr when we haven’t made it a safe space to do so.

this blog is a sea of white, fuck

Ya, I totally agree. It’s our fuck-up that we never partnered ourselves with trans POC blogs, nor did we do a call for submissions. I personally put almost no effort into this tumblr and it shows. The result is a “sea of white,” as you put it. So I hope this can be considered a first step of monay: We’re looking for more beautiful bodies. This blog is 99% white and 90% trans guy. Let’s fuck that shit up. We’re going to be working on more guidelines as well, but firstly we need to do a call-out saying that we’d love pictures/stories/writings from fat trans POC, trans people with disabilties, camab trans folks, trans women, anyone who hasn’t felt like their experience has been represented on this tumblr.

I’m Ty.

Australian of 20 years who works for a telecommunications company and studies relentlessly to begin my quest to change the world.

I have a strong passion for all things queer, including myself and other queers and I’m extremely new to the trans community. I’m still questioning, but this blog has definitely made me feel more comfortable. Each and every one of you are fantastic in your own right and I’m so glad I found you all :)

I’m looking for some friends, too, so don’t be afraid to hit me up at TRDS.tumblr.com :)

I was talking with some friends today about how I lost a lot of time not wearing shorts or skirts because I felt too fat. “Who wants to see that much leg chub, right?”

This is a situation that needs to promptly be fixed before summer ends. We’ve decided that the more time lost, the shorter and tighter the skirts and shorts should be.

Here’s a shitty webcam pic of me in my awesome new hoodie vest. I rarely get to wear cute things because they either don’t even come in my size, or just don’t fit my body nicely. This is a very pleasant exception.

transgalacticwanderer — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:28:45 -0400

Hey y’all!!! I just found this blog and I just wanted to send some love your way!!! This is like the perfect intersection for me because I’ve struggled with my identity as a fat person my entire life and in more recent years also struggled with my trans identity as well! Now I’m a much more happy and well adjust fat, aromantic, grey-A lesbian trans chick!!! I’m Elissa, 20, Vermont, I’m a huge flaming nerd! (SuperWhoLockian, Browncoat, Brony, Alchemist, Jedi, Hetalian, and gamer!) and I love meeting new peeps! *hugs* peace out! :3

Study finds fat acceptance blogs can improve health outcomes

write-on-red — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:12:43 -0400

re-cover-ed:

“Fat acceptance” blogs urging overweight people to shed negative feelings about their body image can lead to healthier diet and exercise choices, a study has found.

The fat acceptance movement, which seeks to foster a support network among overweight people, has inspired a plethora of blogs and web forums such as Corpulent, Fat Heffalump and The Rotund — an online community that’s become known as the “fatosphere”.

In a study published in the journal Qualitative Health Research, researchers from Monash University, the University of New England and the University of Canberra interviewed 44 fatosphere bloggers from Australia, the US and the UK about how their involvement in the movement had changed them.

“There’s been a lot of criticism of the movement that it promotes obesity and encourages people to give up on weight loss and makes their health worse,” said one of the researchers, Dr Samantha Thomas, a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University’s Department of Marketing.

“We saw there was a lot of opinion about the movement but very few people had actually studied it.”

Interviews with the respondents revealed many had experienced feelings of worthlessness, shame, crash diets, cycles of starvation and binge eating and laxative abuse before discovering the fatosphere.

“Having that support and feeling empowered, people slowly found that their health behaviours began to change dramatically. For example, many people suddenly felt confident to do swimming, something they would not have done before,” she said.

“People shifted their focus away from weight loss and more toward health. A lot of people started to take part in physical activity not as a way to lose weight but because they enjoyed it. Instead of pounding it out on the treadmill they start playing with their kids. It’s actually a massive shift in the way they looked at things.”

Shifting the focus away from restricting food and toward listening to the body’s needs could also lead to better food choices, said Dr Thomas.

“There are actually a lot of lessons for public health here,” she said.

“The term fat acceptance is really confronting for people. That’s why we have seen a lot of blame and criticism. Society tells us it’s not OK to be fat for a whole bunch of moral and medical reasons,” she said.

“This study shows that far from promoting obesity and promoting negative health behaviours, the movement is really positive for some people’s health.”

This is a Sarah Robles appreciation post:

because dickwad Nike and Ralph Lauren can’t be fucked to consider strong, athletic women over 130 lbs.

because her proud mama didn’t get an Olympic jacket.

because despite being the highest ranked weight lifter in the USA, she had hell finding a sponser because she doesn’t look like “tinkerbelle”.

because the Olympics is about athletic ability.

This is also a “fuck you” to fat shamers who would look at her without knowing anything about her and label her “unhealthy”.

She is such a badass! <3

2763) I have J cup boobs, or at least I did last time I wore a bra. J cup, just think of how many letters there are between double D and J and some of those are doubles too. They are bigger then my head. Now, I bind. I only use two binders, but it gets me flat enough to appear like a chest, though I do look like a chubby dude. I thought my boobs would never allow me to pass, but with time and a lot of initial pain it is possible. Do not despair large chested brothers! Life before surgery is possible.

This is me with an awesome purple wig. It’s given me a big confidence boost and I love this photo of me in it. I struggle with my body image but somehow this helped a lot.

It’s myself, Eric! I enjoy this fy whilst I’m growing comfortable weight. Here finally an actual picture from head to toe!

I’m 5’7” and a plenty over 320 lbs. I’m not sure - I’m a very bouncy weight kind of person. haha, but either way

I’m starting to care a lot less about what people think and more about what I think. And frankly I love it! :)

Keep on keepin’ on ya’ll!

Do you just not post often or not enough people to have post?

write-on-red — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 13:16:50 -0400

We are primarily a submission based blog. Over the weekend we did get a number of submissions and have been working on trying to space them out over a longer period of time instead of posting all at once.
