Happy Fat Trans Man
My body can only exist as trans and as fat.
It cannot be one without the other.
To be trans is to be fat and to be fat is to be trans.
Weight Sharing
When the chime rings out signaling the end of the jam, I am heaped in a pile with other exhausted dancers. V’s feet crisscross mine. My head is resting on the soft pillow of the other fat woman’s stomach. Her hand is playing through my hair and she is humming quietly. People here identify her by the love she radiates, not by her size.
