not to be rude or anything...
I've noticed, though, that the 'wants to be a suicidegirl' photosets are the only ones with heavy set girls in them. which is sad. not because it's sad whenever a heavy girl does the "hey, I'm just as sexy as a skinny girl!" (which is sad because it's a delusion; the idea of 'pretty' is constructed not to include heavy bodies), but because it's pretty clear that the SG folks aren't into letting "alternative" bodies become suicidegirls unless they're totally normative bodies with tattoos.
unless it's just a coincidence that the overwhelming majority of the SGs are thin, white, and of a certain class position. or maybe that's what being progressive really is? it's being a white supremacist, just never acknowledging it.

Hi! I saw you say "cis-gendered" on Missy's blog about the whole movie debacle and came to your page. Your politics speak to me! Just thought I would say fight on.
