“#TheySaid you’re getting so fat you won’t be able to come back from that.”

Founder and CEO of the athletic wear company Oiselle Sally Bergesen definitely remembers one of the first times she was body-shamed. “’Keep eating like that and you’re going to be a butterball.’ My Dad when I was 12,” Bergesen tweeted on May 25.

It’s no surprise that the hashtag #TheySaid started trending a couple of days ago on Twitter, which has become a stream of crap things people have said about women’s bodies.

Protect LGBTQ rights!

LGBTQ rights are human rights. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Unfortunately, members of the LGBTQ community still face discrimination and violence both here in the United States and around the world. That’s why it’s so important to protect LGBTQ rights. By fighting for equality, we can make sure that all people are able to live their lives free from discrimination and violence. We can also send a message to future generations that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. So let’s continue to fight for LGBTQ rights until everyone is able to enjoy the same freedoms and protections.
