A Side of Shayracha

Many plus size women believe they are limited in where they can shop and will put up with poor treatment just to continue shopping places (throwing shade at you Avenue) but this is far from the truth. I've composed a list of retailers that cater to plus sizes. All sizing is done in US sizes- but not all retailers are US based. Torrid - Sizes 10-30 in select styles (and more coming soon) Modcloth - Sizes up to a 4x SWAK Designs - Sizes up to a 6x (Use my referral link for a discount) JcPenney - Most sizes up to a 24 and select styles up to a 5x Rebdolls - Sizes up to a 5x Lovesick - Sizes up to a 5x Hot Topic - Sizes up to a 5x Ready to Stare - Sizes up to a 5x Walmart - Sizes up to a 5x Jessica London - Sizes up to a 38/40 ASOS -  Sizes up to a US 26 Yours Clothing - Sizes up to a 28/30 CityChic - Sizes up to a 26 in US (their 24 is comparable to Torrid/Lane Bryant 26.) Evans - Sizes up to a 28 Woman Within - Up to a 48W Lane Bryant - Select si...

I am not a "good" fat person. I used to be a good fat person, but I'm not anymore. I'm a bad fat person. A good fat person, covers up. Not because they want , but because they feel they have to. A good fat person feels shame about themselves. They are ashamed of themselves, some of them hate themselves. Some of them do dangerous things to change their fat, to be the good fatty. They not only diet and exercise, but do it to extreme amounts that it's not healthy anymore. They starve their bodies, they put their body through hell... to try and be a good fatty. A good fat person tries to hide their size. They shrink back as much as they can, try to exist as little as they can, in as little space as they possible can. A good fat person apologizes... they apologize just for existing. For being alive. For taking up space. Good fat people apologize. I'm not a good fat person. I'm a bad fat person. I'm the fat person that will NOT apologize. I also won...

Lane Bryant recently launched a campaign called "Plus is Equal." On the surface, it's a seems like a spectacular thing, a company who caters to plus size women calling for body diversity in the media...what could be wrong about that? (Before anyone wants to go "promoting obesity" I'd like to extend the warmest possible fuck you to you and tell you that fat people existing promotes nothing except their right to exist.) I, as a plus size woman, do believe that plus is equal. I'm a human, just like every other various sized human out there, and we ALL deserve some common decency and a good level of respect. Skinny shaming is just as wrong as fat shaming, telling a skinny person to put down a cheeseburger is just as offensive as telling a fat person to put theirs down.  Basically, I'm not an asshole and don't believe others should be assholes either. But, upon looking closer at "Plus is Equal" I have to question if Lane Bryant actu...
