Anonymous asked: What do you think about the new "transfat" identifiers? (Thin people who identify as overweight/overweight people who identify as thin? What about "otherkin"?

About “transfat”: unless you are a trans* person who is also fat and making a joke, I think it’s inappropriate. As a fat person, from a family of fat people, it’s disrespectful and dismissive.

As for “otherkin,” I have no problem with people identifying as animals, until they start raping them. ANIMALS CANNOT CONSENT.
