I had not read your work prior to reading your article in The Guardian. I deeply appreciated your writing, while questioning The Guardian’s choice to accompany the article with a headless photo of a femme looking person who I did not perceive as fat. When your post about the article popped up in my insta feed, I was happy to read that you pushed back and got your photo added to the article. I hear how re-traumatizing the whole thing was, and how much courage it took to push back. I’m glad you have good people in your life who supported you to do this.
It's probably not the solace or rocket fuel or rebalancing it should be, and we'd wish it to be for you, but your unstoppable insightful eloquence and cultural thinking is a triumph (over, and for, and on our behalf) and we value it, and all of you.
Thank you Jasper, for this generous piece, and for your wonderful article in the guardian 💖
Deep appreciation for the ways that you and your support folks managed the issue of the inappropriate image selected to accompany the article - what a difficult and important thing to do 💝
