@DrAseemMalhotra @SheilaDillon @DanSaladinoUK @zoeharcombe @JoannaBlythman @lowcarbGP @CampbellMurdoch @ProfTimNoakes @lowcarbdiabetic @FatEmperor weird that, it's almost like registered health professionals are working together to seek alignment and presentation of a coherent, evidence-based message to the public....

It is time for minoritized voices to come to the front + centre of nutrition and dietetic work.

@BDA_Dietitians @AfN_UK_ @The_HCPC - are you listening? are you acting?

[Shira Rose @theshirarose]

Your anti-diet stance means nothing to me if you’re not also anti fat oppression.

Hello Twitter.

Long time no speak. I was busy working over at LCIE but this has now come to an end.

I'll be over here talking about what I know, namely non-diet nutrition, #trauma, food + bodies. Join if you like :)

@theyasminbenoit Agreed; my town too (also ace, hey!)

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@acecorgi_ @asexualjournal Yes this is what i want to know too. For me it’s situation-specific. Eg being in bed with someone (cuddling/sleeping) will produce arousal.

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@betterwithpuns @asexualjournal Stil could be ace if not sexually attracted

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@Amysieben @Soli_K I hear this. Romantic attraction does open the door to me considering sexual experiences, but it’s an intellectual decision not a physical one

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@SilvercatTyger @mking560 @nerdy_puff @max_tarascio @asexualjournal More recently i’ve been experiencing arousal, but its to nothing in particular. And it makes me want to think of ways to enhance that feeling, and enjoy it, but again putting someone else in that picture stops it all. Autochorissexual perhaps?

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@moonhanded @azejournal I relate so much to this feeling of wanting touch, and possibly being open to it, but also not in any way sharing that desire that others had

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@anxietyaloner @chloeful @azejournal Hello, :) me too.

[Melanie Hargraves RD @mellyphant]

@azejournal This was so powerful. I really identified with being at the forefront of exploration at 15. Now i’m too scared even to explore that far.
