Shout out to femme trans men and trans masc. Especially trans men and masc of color. No amount of make-up or femininity makes you less of a man. You are an honor to your ancestors, and owe masculinity to no one. 

Be you!

"Shopping for clothes is already intimidating. There are so many options and styles to consider, as well as factors like sustainability and ethics.

But for people in fat, disabled, or queer and gender-nonconforming bodies, it’s even more arduous.

Nico Herzetty, Emma K. Clark, and Paul Herzetty wondered: What if there was a way people could shop — not necessarily by color or size — but by measurements, materials, and ethics?

So they set off to create their website: Phoria. 

Here, shoppers can set up a free profile, add their body measurements (and “typical fit challenges”) and peruse over 270 brands. Once these data points are entered, users can personalize their pages with “saved,” “recommended,” or “hidden” brands. 

Pages can be totally private, or shared with the community to connect over styles and brands.

Aside from fit, brands in the Phoria database (which claims to be “the largest database of plus-friendly brands”) can also be filtered as “gender-neutral,” “woman-run,” “small business,” or “natural fibers.” Users can also filter for price, preferred styles, and more.

Pictured: A screenshot of the "Fit Challenges" feature on a Phoria user's profile.

Some brands include popular names like Athleta, Levi’s, and Patagonia. Others are small businesses, like Beefcake Swimwear, or Hey Peach.

“For so many people, it feels too damn hard to find and keep clothing that fits in all the ways that really matter. So we’re doing something about it,” the Phoria website reads.

“Unlike most online shopping experiences, we center the needs of plus-size women, nonbinary, and trans people, and prioritize supporting clothing brands focused on sustainability, ethics, and inclusion.” ...

That team — made up of Clark, and Nico and Paul Herzetty — calls themselves “fat, disabled, and very, very queer.” 

“These are some of the main ways we identify, and they’re qualities that have directly impacted our ability to get dressed every day in a way that feels good,” the Phoria team introduces themselves on the website.

In addition to catering the user experience to women, non-binary, and trans people, Phoria is also a benefit corporation, or a B corp.

“We’ve legally required ourselves to consider the interests of all our stakeholders — customers, employees, the planet, and our shareholders,” the Phoria website explains.

“Our specific public benefit purpose is to reduce people’s dependence on buying mass-produced items made in unsustainable ways and to use human-centered business models to boldly challenge economic systems of inequity.” 

Right now, in the early stages of the company’s business, it doesn’t make any money.

“We’re focused on building something that genuinely solves plus-size people’s challenges around clothes shopping and supports smaller and more sustainable brands,” Phoria’s website states.

So, spreading the word seems to be of utmost importance...

Additionally, TikTok creators @couplagoofs (a queer couple named Morgan and Phoebe), recently shared a video in which they discovered Phoria. They met the website’s creators at a fat liberation event in their city and were introduced to the tool.

Quickly, commenters responded with gratitude and excitement.

“It is so disappointing to sort through pages of plus size clothes that aren’t even plus size,” a TikTok user commented. “This is gonna be such a good tool!” 

Some even shared emotional responses, speaking to the need at the heart of Phoria’s mission. 

“I’m… gonna cry,” another commenter wrote. “I’ve needed this my whole life.”"

It's wonderful to be fat and trans

It's wonderful to be fat and queer

It's wonderful to be fat and feel sexy

It's wonderful to be fat and punk

It's wonderful to be fat and goth

It's wonderful to be fat and literally anything else you are or want to be

It's wonderful to be fat and to love yourself

No one can take that from you it's your right as a person. If they have a problem seeing fat people who love themselves then they can pluck out their eyes.

To hell with them.

shoutout to fat hairy dudes with large breasts. there is nothing wrong with you or your body. your body is just as natural and deserving of taking up space as anyone elses. you dont need to conform to skinny cis dyadic standards. you're allowed to exist just as you are. but if you need gender affirming care, that's okay too. just be kinder to yourself and take care, okay?

For everyone following me and claiming they’d give their life to me if they have a chance, I hope you know i’m not your “average” trans guy when it comes to looks.

I’ve been seeing a lot of fatphobia against transmasc doms on my feed and it annoys the absolute fuck out of me. A moment ago you were under their post saying you’d let them do whatever then the moment they post how they look they get asks like “I didn’t know you were fat” or dropping followers because of it. I’m not obese but I definitely have a belly that hangs out over my pants and not ashamed of it whatsoever. I understand if you have preferences about who you like but don’t make them feel bad about themselves just because you don’t like it. Quit treating people as if they’re less value just because you had this image in your head about them, everyone looks different in their own way and that’s the beauty in transitioning.

If you’re anything like this or just in general a asshole when it comes to weight or looks, please get off my blog. You’re not welcomed here and never will be.

its always about the "frail boys" or the "small, weak boys", and they do deserve the love (or abuse <3), but what about us big and strong boys? some of us are subs too and wanna be bullied and pushed around restrained etc.

maybe you could overpower me but it wouldn't be an easy fight, but you can do what you will with me because you know i'm giving you my submission

and doesn't it feel good to control something bigger and stronger than you? don't you want to have a big hulking bear on a leash?

You still deserve to feel good if you're overweight.

You still deserve to feel good if you're underweight.

You still deserve to feel good if you've got a flat ass.

You still deserve to feel good if you've got little to no self esteem.

You still deserve to feel good if you're insecure.

You still deserve to feel good if you've got STD's.

You still deserve to feel good if you've got "bad"/uncommon kinks.

You still deserve to feel good if you're into vanilla things.

You still deserve to feel good if the way you participate in kinks is different to what's normal.

You deserve to feel good.

And while I'm talking about fatphobia in Fandoms, please tell me you noticed how obsessed the marauders Fandom is with characters being overly thin. Like, they'll hold up how they made Lilly fat occasionally, and sometimes even say they don't like thin Peter fan casts, then it's off to the races to make all the boys we love as thin as possible and say that it's just part of their character. Of course all of these teenage boys are as thin as humanly possible. Of course Sirius is thin as hell. Of course Remus is too. And so is regulus. And Barty. I even saw James being described as skinny. He's a teenage athlete, and you're describing him as skinny? How does he sustain all that mascle mass exactly? He should have Nick Nelson's build. And the rationalizations of it doesn't make it any better. Oh, it's just because Remus is sick so often. It's just because Regulus / Sirius have an eating disorder, or because they were starved by their mom. That's why all the fan art has them in so little clothes that show specifically their tiny waist and their thin bodies in general. I've only rarely seen the same in fan art of Lilly, and basically never with Peter. Because he's not who people are attracted to, they say. Well, first of all, why do you think that is? And Secondly, we don't have that much information about the rest of them being as skinny as they're depicted, aspacially not as teens, so that still doesn't explain why we're making them look basically heroine chic. As if half the Fandom isn't trans masc people who want to be like these characters, who are some of the only positive depictions of masculinity and masculine friendship out there. And as if the trans community isn't dealing with so much internelised fatphobia and Straightforward phatphobia towards others, too. As if the skinny white trans masc isn't a huge problem in diversifying our social idea of what a transmasculine body looks like. Maybe if we see these characters that people headcanon as trans so often not be fetishized for being super skinny it'll be a little easier to feel like we don't have to be that in order to be valid and loved. Nobody does. So, start making Sirius chubby. And Remus. And Regulus. And not just for the sake of giving them body issues. Also because they're people. I want a Remus that has a stomach. I want James with chubby arms. I want Regulus and Sirius that isn't the most extreme version of a twink you can think of. Or just have them look like they're in a healthy waight. We don't have to romanticize being skinny. We can romanticize being a human that grows and changes and struggles and thrives. That's what we're good at, as a Fandom. That and angst.

body hair doesn't make you gross, no matter your gender or what the rest of your body looks like - whether you're fat, muscular, thin, curvy, etc. body hair is the same thing that grows on the top of your head and above your eyes. it's just hair, and it can be whatever you want it to be. it isn't inherently masculine. it isn't bad to have it. it's natural and harms no one.

you're allowed to keep and get rid of it as you please, and you'll always be wonderful no matter what you do. your body is a good body, because it's yours. not because of what it looks like, or will look like.
