Body politics, loving myself and my queerness
"I have always been a bigger bodied person. Being socialized as a woman and growing up in a world where my body was sexualized and only validated by it’s ability to fit in with current beauty standards, as well as early childhood sexual assault, left me with eating disorders. Binge eating, bulimia and anorexia. My build is wide and curvy so it was kept unnoticed. Along with these unpleasant relationships to my body, I also knew from a young age that I was queer, which definitely fuelled a feeling of alienation that I had already attached to being a chubby kid." Social media producer at ABC Queer, Miki, shares their thoughts on body politics and queerness for Pride Month.

I hated my body
Ever since I was 10 years old, I was told that I needed to lose weight or I was too big. I would get told this a lot from my skating coach. She would tell me that I needed to look a certain way or that I was too fat to fit into a costume.
Recovery is Possible
I struggled for 8 years with body image and my eating disorder where I viewed my body to be fat, disgusting, never good enough and obsessing over it. For me, this came from extreme insecurities, low self esteem/self worth, being a perfectionist, identity issues, anxiety and depression and placing other people’s opinions of me as higher than my own.
The Hidden Truth I’ve Been Too Afraid to Talk About
For most of my life, I’ve been very insecure about the way I look. Purging and bingeing is something I turned to as a coping mechanism when I was a teenager. I kept this a secret from my friends and family because I was afraid that they wouldn’t understand.
