Diet Culture Really Rots Your Brain. I Cant Stomach Eating Anything In The Morning. Cant Do It. I Discussed

Diet culture really rots your brain. I can’t stomach eating anything in the morning. Can’t do it. I discussed this with my doctor- I said “well I guess I could have a yoghurt or something healthy” and I mentioned that I had a hot chocolate in the morning as a treat.

She said “yes! Do that! Every morning”

I thought hot chocolate = bad. Not having breakfast was Healthier than having a hot chocolate. But my GP said- no, it’s better to have something, anything. And something with sugar and fat in it will actually be better for me than simply having nothing so if a hot chocolate works for me- keep doing it!

How much guilt have I wasted on something that was doing me good because of stupid diet culture?

our humanity as Australian Aboriginal people has been questioned vigorously ever since whitefella came to our fucking lands and i'm going to be honest i don't give a fucking shit if your questions about Aboriginal people are purely from a scientific evolutionary standpoint: asking how or why Aboriginal people are considered to be Homo sapiens is the most racist dogshit way you could ever fucking ask your stupid question. As if us Aboriginal people don't have to deal with racist cunts saying that we're extinct or that we're not as evolved as everyone else because we never "progressed" past a certain point or some shit (as if "progression" was some how necessary for us to support our communities and live our lives the way we wanted to). it is the most tone-deaf racist fucking dumb shit i have ever heard. i am now demanding that non-Aboriginal people actually read the many many pdfs and articles that are out there, made by Aboriginal people and by different Australian government bodies about how to work with or communicate with Aboriginal people and what is/is not allowed to be asked and other BASIC FUCKING INFORMATION ABOUT ABORIGINAL PEOPLE because you whitefella are acting so out of fucking pocket that i truly believe that you need to read this shit so you actually start acting respectful when it comes to Aboriginal issues and you know HOW to actually talk about these issues without talking over us or being a shitcunt about it. and yeah one of the PDF's is 51 pages long. suck it up and read the whole thing and don't complain about it to me.

I hear a lot of talk about two spirit people, which is wonderful, but I thought as an australian I should mention brother boys and sister girls.

I am not a First Nations person, and don’t know a lot about these cultural identities but I’ve never even heard them mentioned in online queer spaces other than on one australian queer self help webchat.

Brother boys are Indigenous trans men, and Sister girls are Indigenous trans women. (I’m pretty sure at least) I think that there is a connection to country that links with these identities, but again I am not a First Nation’s person, and I don’t know any Brother boys or Sister girls personally so I can not say I know this for sure.

I’d love to learn more about these identities if anyone would like to share, and I really hope I have not misrepresented anything in what I have said and if I have I apologise and please say so. :)
