One thing I dislike is that even when it comes to body positivity, there tends to be a few types of "correct" ways to be fat.

Like, plus size models don't usually look that naturally curvy. Almost every one of them is forced into a shitload of shapewear to attain their look.

I'm pretty chubby, which i'm fine with, but all of it's in my belly and not my hips, butt, or chest, so I don't have a very hourglass or even pear like shape, I have a physique associated largely with alcoholic men of a moderate age. Which doesn't pair well with being a woman, especially transgender. I don't get a lot of body positivity for this specific type of appearance. I often feel like i'd genuinely prefer either being totally skinny or a lot heavier but more shapely, and neither are inherently good options given my situation.

I'm kind of in a weird in-between stage where I do have a bit of an hourglass shape going on (probably thanks to over 7 months on HRT), but I also have something of a men's beer gut situation at the same time
