Fat and PDX

[treehuggingtranny]

this is totally true and lovely. the picture of you and your two friends at the beginning is gorgeous. it's so important to love your body as is.

Thanks for the share. People shouldn't feel obligated to change their bodies just for others.

I totally agree about commenting on the bodies of others. It sucks that women are socialized to not only be critical of their bodies (and others bodies), but also learn to use language that publicly exposes/judges fat bodies. I can't wait to see you in Portland, especially now that I know our communities have collided! <3 <3 <3

It's such a small queer world :) My goal is go down to PDX on my break in Oct/Nov. <3!

You're not hot in spite of your body, you're hot because of it.

[Quinbetweeny]

you are all kinds of awesome. i hope to be as "one with my body" in the near future! :)

Ray, this video is so cool with the jump cuts and photos and everything! Good rant too! I miss ya, pal.

Oh please (I say to the people who implied that you're over weight)! Firstly, you are NOT over weight. You look fine. Secondly, I question the thin counterparts within your class about their health. Being too thin or even being consumed with your weight is a health disaster waiting to happen. I know first hand. You look great...screw the comments from your classmates.

"ended up in my underwear reading gay porn to three people i just met"

I love your life =)

[fagtastic]

ditto, that!

[drjjcom]

As a life-long fat genderqueer, thank you for your righteous anger and the multiple ways you are out in the world. This was a lovely, lovely video.

Dude you look awesome just the way you are! This post is awesome and those photos are beautiful! Have you ever heard of Dave End?

[RayElianLee]

Thank you :) I haven't heard of Dave End? Tell me more!

you are a good man ray.

i am glad to know you.

[RayElianLee]

Aw :) I'm really happy we finally got to hang out. xo!

[ruggerblue]

Really liked this a lot!

[gabvsgabe]

Seeing full body pictures of you the last thing that would ever cross my mind is that you're "fat". You look completely fine and are a very attractive person. I'm bigger in many ways and i understand how much it sucks with people's passive aggressive weight comments and how hard it can be to ignore them/stand up for yourself. But ignore those "skinny" bitches! they don't know what they are talking about, big is beautiful! :]

[RayElianLee]

I'm not using fat as a bad thing whatsoever. I know it's ingrained in us, when someone says they are fat, someone is supposed to reply, 'Oh no you aren't!'. I'm happy with my fat/chubby label. :)

[gabvsgabe]

good. :]

[iliveinacubicle]

you are really hot the way you are :3

[RayElianLee]

Thanks :)

I totally agree with you about how inappropriate it is to comment on others bodies and how under the guise of a compliment can be such a nasty criticism. Thanks for the rant.

[RayElianLee]

Thanks Aydin. :)

[Wilmie82]

Im so glad that you made this video. It is so true that people have no problems making fun of fat folks... Boo to them. Awesome!

[RayElianLee]

Boo to them indeed!
