I lost weight when I went on my medication initially because it made me very sick and when I told people that was why, more than a couple would say stuff like “I wish I could get some of that” like you want a weird disorder that is awful and to be violently ill? just to be skinnier?

“After I got the biopsies, they did another mammogram. And I had to have my shirt off. And I was standing there at the machine. And the technician said, oh my gosh, you have such a flat stomach. What is your secret? And I was like, oh, I’m dying.“

-Tig Notaro

More proof that the ideal of thinness never had anything to do with health.

Since you are sharing this, why not share/donate to Walela Nehanda (The OP of the tweet)! They were recently hospitalized and victim to racism that could have (and almost did) kill them (the first article on their medium, which is under their name and the first link on their link tree, is about their experience). They were discharged and are in need of money for treatment and expenses.

Their link tree is here.
