Source: 500px.comHello! My name is Starsha. I'm 33, a wife, a mother, and a graduate student in counseling psychology.
I believe that fat people are more than just the fat they carry. They are more than the stereotyped image of the fat person who is lazy and eats all day. They have lives and families. Yet they seem to be open targets for public shame and humiliation. It seems that so many people are all too willing to poke fun at someone who is fat because of some preconceived notion that all fat people choose to be that way. Just because fat is so obvious. It cannot be hidden. It can't be tucked away within ourselves or stuffed in a box and stored under the bed. It can never be a secret.
I'm pro-fat acceptance because I am pro-human rights. Fat people have a right to feel comfortable in their own skin. They have a right to leave their houses without shame or fear of being mocked. Other people do not have to like it, but they certainly do not have a right to make someone feel less than human because of it.

I’ve been hearing a lot of controversy about this lately, and I have to say I’ve never given it much thought, so what are your guys views on circumcision?
This handy flowchart describes the sole ethically acceptable line of thought.
It really is this simple.

I didn’t circ my son because it is his genitalia and he should have the right to decide what happens to his penis. I didn’t want to mutilate him for the sake of aesthetics. The foreskin serves an important function and I see no reason why it should be removed unless, as I mentioned before, the owner of the foreskin wants to have it removed.

In discussions about health, why do we have to have phrases like, “Fat people need to exercise and eat healthy,” ? Aren’t conversations about health applicable to all individual’s, not just the fat ones?

Once upon a time, 15 years ago ( I was 18), I was labeled bipolar and borderline personality. Today, I know that I have AD(H)D (unofficial diagnosis by a licensed mental health professional), anxiety, and a thyroid disorder instead. Does that change my old diagnosis? Nope… that label will be with me for the rest of my life. Once you have been given a personality disorder diagnosis, It doesn’t go away.

I used to have high anxiety about eating in front of people, especially if they aren’t eating too. I’ve run out of a room crying before because people wanted me to eat but no one else was going to.
I still have that struggle surface from time to time. That guilt for eating. That shame if someone sees me eating some food in my car before class starts, as if I shouldn’t be eating at all. I still struggle with the urge to hide.
I guess it may always be with me, but I’ve come a long way! :)

This morning my daughter, who is nearly four, saw the stretch marks on my hips and stomach. She ran her hands over them and asked what they were.
“I got them when I grew up,” I said, “and a few more when I had you.” I grinned down at her. “They’re my stripes. You’ll get stripes too when you grow up.”
She was overjoyed. “Really?”
I think she’s in her room now, pretending to be a tiger.

"Isn’t it funny how, I’ve learned to say it? I am fat. I am not skin or muscle or gristle or bone. What I am, the part of my body that I am most, is fat. Continuous, white, lighter than water, a source of energy. No one can hold all of me at once. Does this constitute a crime? I know how to carry myself. Sometimes I feel almost graceful. But all around I hear the thin people’s bombast: Get Rid of Flabby Thighs Now! Avoid Holiday Weight-Gain Nightmares! Lose Those Last Five Pounds! What is left of a woman once her last five pounds are gone?"
