that sounds LAME

i reckon if someone is a "real" feminist then they should be above discrimination of any form - and if you're being denied then they are discriminating against you over SOMETHING.

I suspect that it has something to do with my E-A-T-I-N-G D-I-S-O-R-D-E-R. Because feminists don't have EDs, amirite?

Because being a feminist and an anorectic isn't the hardest thing I've ever done, or anything. >:(

An ED is supposedly so un-feminist, which is LAME.

Just in case you're interested:
http://pennyred.blogspot.com/ this is the blog of Laurie. Laurie is a fierce feminist. She also used to have an ED but has overcome it to do amazing things, like graduating from Oxford.
http://feministmentalhealthuk.wordpress.com/ in this blog feminists write about mental health.

feminist even has the nerve to claim to work against mental-illness discrimination.

Thank you so much for the links! I love what I've read so far. :D

their reasons for restricting membership so harshly seem extremely convoluted to me.

IA. We need a mole to explain their rationalization to us.

And of course "their rationalization" = "the lies they tell themselves"

That's such bullshit.

I'm a feminist. I have an eating disorder. I choose to be a feminist, I did not choose the disorder.

You should make your own community, I would join :)
