Thank you for writing this. As a femme person who grew up in a protestant and jewish household I had a similar experience and often times when I was obese I was shamed for it as if it was a personal failing. I've recently lost weight and kept it off for the first time and the world treats me so differently. The world has been conditioned to hate non-thin femme and masculine people and equate us with disgust and slovenly behavior. We deserve to exist in public.
