Exclusionists have said "you're not part of our community" to basically every LGBT+ demographic except the fraction of gay people who agree with them, I think at this point they're just excluding themselves
Might be a bit out of the blue but what if Mitsuri has coeliac disease? When I was young, I was malnourished due to my symptoms, which included reflux and so made eating incredibly uncomfortable
But when I went on losec and had the reflux treated, I was suddenly eating an absolute ton on some days- I could put away an amount equal to my dad, eat three peoples' significant leftovers and still have room for more. Bearing in mind that now, at 19, I am roughly 150cm.
The reason behind this is that when someone with coeliac eats gluten, it damages their small intestine and results in malabsorption- an increased appetite means that while the rate of absorption is down, there's enough food coming through to make up for it. I wonder if this is why Mitsuri eats so much while not really gaining weight- the nutrients she does get goes to her muscles, which is what happened to me with my love of monkeybarring as a kid.
Also, coeliac can be largely asymptomatic, or symptoms can be neurological. For example, when I eat a tiny amount of gluten on one day, I won't get any symptoms. If I eat a tiny amount over a few days or weeks, as I accidentally did a month ago, I won't get diarrhoea, but I will experience increased anxiety, a really low mood, brain fog, and intense exhaustion. She doesn't seem to have any other signs, and that is entirely plausible. My father is the same.
In any case, this is a longwinded way of saying I headcanon Mitsuri as having coeliac disease. During the Taisho era, coeliac was barely becoming understood and she has few symptoms, so she likely wouldn't get a diagnosis or anything. It's just food for thought based on my own experiences :)
if tumblr shuts down you can find me on tumblr. ill still be here. they cant make me leave
it’s disability pride month so i want to talk about one of my least favorite stigmas around celiac disease
in lots of media, being gluten free is played as a joke or something someone is to be annoying/pretentious. the amount of times i’ve heard jokes like that is honestly disheartening.
it also doesn’t help with the general population’s belief that celiac disease/gluten sensitivities are not serious. i’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease for 3 years now, i’ve been gluten free for about 4, and it has substantially improved my quality of life. i can’t afford risking cross-contamination because it leaves me sick for days. nearly every time i have a reaction to gluten, it’s hard for me to even drink water the next day because my body is an absolute mess. i’m miserable and fatigued for days until my body heals. not to mention the long term effects that have left me unable to stand/walk around for extended periods of time because my joints are pretty weak.
being gluten free NEEDS to be taken seriously. it’s not a choice i’ve made because i’m hoping on the latest fad, its not a preference, it’s an autoimmune disorder.
