So, yes, I hate being called fat.
I hate it.
And I wish I could say I don't care, but I hate it.
It hurts my feelings.
Thank you.
And I think we're so, we're now having to do the thing, aren't we, of being strong about weight and kind of going, you know, oh, fuck, fuck the patriarchy.
We should, you know, we should just own our curvy bodies and we should, you know, any body's a bikini body.
And I love it.
It's so incredible.
And I feel so sorry for us as women, actually, feeling like we...
We're so traumatized by this subject that we feel that we have to get together en masse and we have to build this community of telling everyone to piss off when it's about weight and that I'm going to own my curves and I don't need to be skinny.
But actually, I just really feel for us and I'm supportive of all of that.
Don't get me wrong.
But I am just being really honest and saying, yeah, that's great.
But I will still go on holiday next week and I will be packed in a bikini and I will be called fat.
I will.
And I will hate it.
And I will I will put a picture up on Instagram in a bikini and go and I'll find the right angle where I look how I want to look.
And I'll be happy with that and I'll watch the likes roll in and I'll watch the lovely comments come in going, oh, you look great.
But there will be a cesspit and a pool of awful comments when paparazzi pictures come out or, you know, because they deliberately get the worst angles they can.
