So many times I’ve heard women, yes our own full figured,
curvy, and beautiful women make bad remarks about each other. According to some
women, if you’re on the smaller end of the plus spectrum then you don’t count
as a plus size woman. Plus model Tocarra
is constantly bad mouthed in the plus community. I wanted to speak out about it
because I’m heading towards that end of spectrum for health purposes and I want
to go further in my career. It’s no secret that most mainstream plus models
range from a 12-16 and you only get to be a 16 if you’re tall.
I also understand that what the industry considers to be plus size is really just the size of the average women. But when it comes to the industry there really is no in between.
Is a 12 plus size? Absolutely. There are 12’s that can’t go
to mainstream stores or straight size boutiques and find anything in their
size. They have the same issues that the rest of the community has and
sometimes worse because some plus stores start at a size 14 or their 12s are
just too big.
Where does plus size begin anyway? It all seems relative. If a size 8 wants to identify as plus sized, then I will happily invite her into the fold simply because I’m about size acceptance. Whether you’re a 2 or 32 you’re beautiful, and refuse to make you feel less than or have you feel that you don’t belong.

How can we uplift each other if we’re perpetuating the same
discrimination within our own community? Some want to be accepted but are so
quick to exclude others.
Okay now that I’m done with my ridiculous rant, here are
some beautiful plus models!
