The people who get
angriest about fat girls looking good and feeling hot are the
people who are the most strongly invested in the idea that a
person has to be skinny in order to be happy, healthy, and loved.
Very often it’s people just projecting their own
body-loathing onto someone else; if you’re truly
comfortable and confident in your own skin, it shouldn’t
make a difference to you what anyone else is wearing, or how they
look. It only affects you if it’s making you question your
assumptions, about both other people and about yourself. ♦
