We Are The They
You will have seen earlier on today I posted about a We Are The They campaign for this evening.
If you’re reading this it’s time to get on social media and post on your photos. I want to see you looking fabulous! Simply post your favourite photos of you on Twitter and Instagram using #WeAreTheThey 🙂
Quite frankly I am fed up of the notion that I shouldn’t be entitled to clothing because I might be unhealthy. I don’t think people quite realise that they’re talking about something as basic as putting clothes on a body when they say that plus size clothing should not exist.
I even saw a blog post this morning that suggests ‘obesity kills’ warnings should be sewn into the labels of my clothing.
Here is a comment I left on a blog post (which I refuse to link to) this morning.
“I think you are a little bit confused about the reasons for size 32 clothing…. I AM a size 32 and therefore I need clothing in my size. If you think that I am a size 32 because of the multiple choices of clothing I am now ‘lucky’ enough to have you are wrong. The truth is that people were fat long before they had clothing available in their size. I have been the teenager having to wear ill fitting school blazers and the 20-something having to squeeze my body into a work uniform that didn’t fit, just so I could do things as basic as getting an education or earning a living.
