    There’s a bunch of good replies here. I’m a skinny dude and I’m not comfortable in my body. I’ve said somethings to fat people that were fucked, because of my insecurity. Like when asked, “How do you stay so thin?”

    Mostly stuff like “I just eat healthy and stay active” (not true), “I can eat whatever I want but MeTaBoLiSm” (true, but I can’t eat much), “Calories in, Calories out!” All these things I said were shitty and miss a fuck-ton of nuance. They deflect from my feelings about my body, which is easy because it’s exceptable to look like me. Shit I said was just bullshit cope that is shitty for fat people.

    I get too many questions about my weight/size, but it pales in comparison to what my fat friends deal with.

    It’s hard to have solidarity, but we should try to have it for everyone regardless of their body.

    Don’t wanna attack the comic, it’s funny. Here’s a podcast that helped me as a skinny dude.
