Roxane Gay Quote
Sometimes, people who, I think, mean well like to tell me I am not fat. They will say things like, Don’t say that about yourself, because they understand fat as something shameful, something insulting, while I understand fat as a reality of my body. When I use the word, I am not insulting myself. I am describing myself.
