I'm so fed up with Thyroid jokes.

I’m really glad you think it’s funny. “THYROID” right? Why don’t those lazy bitches just get up and exercise right? HA!

Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

Since I was diagnosed with Graves disease I’ve learnt so much about thyroid disease. Every case is individual and every symptom affects sufferers in different ways.

People might assume I have an underactive thyroid because I’m fat, but I’ve got an overactive thyroid. I didn’t lose a single kilogram before I was diagnosed, much to the surprise of many doctors. I did however suffer with heart palpitations, insomnia, debilitating anxiety (still do even though I’ve been on medication for over a month) and suicidal ideation.

Assumptions about other people’s bodies and “health” are fucked up. And none of anyone’s business.

EDIT

I just want to tell everyone about the time one of John Birmingham’s merry band of trolls reported that I couldn’t possibly be a good advocate for being fat because I have numerous health problems.

Yeh, even if I did have fat related health problems I would be a way better advocate for fat people, as an actual fat person with fat bodied experience, rather than a skinny person. FAT PEOPLE HAVE HUMANITY, DIGNITY AND VOICE.Fuck health as a moral yardstick for dignity.
