Lately, there is a tactic in the FA and anti-fitness community of talking about someone who is skinny and fit (particularly if they are a woman) as “unnatural.” This is insanity. This is harmful to everyone.

If being fit and and thin is unnatural, I’m proud to be unnatural and some human perversion (who can still climb a flight of stairs without dying). I’m also glad to be with my sublime and awesome “unnatural” partner.

And now I can finally do overhand pull-ups reliably again for the first time in 18 years and I’ll keep doing those while other people cry about my unnaturalness and huff across parking lots chasing me, throwing tater tots ineffectually.
