Obstacles and a-holes
This is what I heard about myself today from a long distance acquaintance:
Nobody can believe that a girl as big as you are does roller derby! I told them how big you were, and they said that wouldn't believe it until they saw it. I told them you weren't like a circus freak or anything, but they can't believe that someone that big roller skates.
Um, OK, asshole.
I'm still trying to process this. I got a lot of support from friends (both in person and virtual), but it really hit me hard. Do they really think a "girl as big as I am" sits around in bed eating take-out and riding around town on a little goddamn scooter with my oxygen tank?
I don't even know what to say about this, but I know what to do about it. Prove those asshole doubters wrong. I am officially skating for every fat girl who has been afraid to try something because of her weight or has felt like a circus freak.
In the immortal words of my Grandma Peg, "They don't like it? Fuck 'em".
