Well written. (and I loved the pictures). I am lucky enough to be living in a part of the world (the Dominican Republic) wear women embrace their curves (as do the men) and show them off with the tightest clothes possible. I chuckle..because my education was to buy lose fitting clothes (as a woman in Europe) and here the norm is to buy the size UNDER one's size..and if it is in Lycra/stretch fabric, all the better!...oh the curves..heaven! it is bliss to look and enjoy women who walk with pride!
Thanks, for chiming in. You know that biopower is fucking with you when you write off anyone interested in you. Transwomen have a similar complex relationship with trannychasers. It is as if we have to be loved despite our Otherness and not because of it.
In response to fat girls considering you a fetishist... As a fat girl, I've definitely struggled with this mindset within myself. Even fat positive girls often have unresolved issues with their bodies & internalized fat hatred. It's hard to truly think of yourself as beautiful & attractive when you're given so many cultural signals that this is not the case. Sometimes you just can't believe that anyone could genuinely be attracted to you so your mind jumps to assume that it must be a fetish.
It's a troubling internal conflict--to believe in one part of your mind that you're body is sexy, and to simultaneously believe that most people don't perceive this to be true. I'm always conscious of (and bothered by) my contradictory thought processes when I begin to write off someone's attraction to me as a fat fetish...I'd assume that a lot of other fat girls are too!
