so for those who think their fat affects their perception of their own gender, does it also affect your sexual orientation ?
For me I was always at best ambivalent about being male, and I think in some part of my mind early on I had the association that fat guys were less masculine, which may have been some of the appeal to me? Not sure, since old memories are not always reliable. So maybe less fat affecting my perception of my gender, as my perception of my gender affecting my perception of my fat?
Either way, I think I've been pretty much fatsexual forever. My sexual attraction was initially to the chubby girls around me, but I couldn't find a term to describe my fascination with the chubby guys around me, but with hindsight I was totally crushing on them, I just didn't really understand. I'm still more oriented toward women, but think not-overly-masculine fat guys are hot as frick too.
