I was given baby doll toys myself, and they proved a stark reminder that my life was expected to revolve around childbearing – just as my mom’s had before me, and her mom’s had before her.

BETH DITTOI was overcome by the Holy Ghost one time, but in a Baptist way. I was six or seven, and I was saved. I just cried and cried. It was joy!
BETH DITTOThere is no rule in the pink-triangle guide to coming out that you must wear a rainbow flag cap and organise a full band parade.
BETH DITTOI love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
BETH DITTOFor my group of friends is Lady Gaga eye-opening? No. She’s a less dangerous version of what was so cool about pop culture in the 80s. Back then it was so gay and so punk in so many ways.
BETH DITTOWe have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.
BETH DITTOI love Adele so much and it’s honestly not because we’re both big.
BETH DITTOI have a very good relationship with myself. My favourite quote is, “What you think about me is none of my business.”
BETH DITTOI’m like cheddar: Yes, other cheeses are more ooh la la, but I’m strong, mature, and oh so delicious.
BETH DITTOThe black bubble dress is a must! The leggings are absolutely amazing too, they fit perfectly and let you breath when still being super high-waisted. They are everything and so easy to pair anything with.

BETH DITTOWe weren’t idiots, but I didn’t have that access to academic feminism. I had to realize, on my own, that feminism is not just about how far ahead you can get in a job and it isn’t about not wearing makeup. It isn’t about not watching your waistline. I had to recreate the world entirely.
BETH DITTOI support love any healthy way you can get it.
BETH DITTOGrowing up as a chubby kid with a ton of imaginary friends and a Cyndi Lauper obsession, I learned about rejection early on and was constantly trying to avoid it.
BETH DITTOGirls are taught to sing high and pretty, like Antony, not low and from the guts like Nina Simone. But we’re slowly trying to change that. There are so many things we’re not told growing up, and it’s our true feminist responsibility to take the truth to the people who need to hear it.
BETH DITTOGet a Job’ is about all the rich kids we knew when we were younger, kids who never had jobs but always had money for partying or getting their hair done.
