Summary
I’d told him, during our second or third session, that I could not cope with sex scenes in film or in television. Even if they drove the plot forward. It made me feel self-conscious, filthy, disgusting. It was because of the lack of representation.
“And they were… ‘shiny, happy people,’ as R.E.M. once put it?”
“Skinny, happy people,” I muttered.
“Not built like you?”
“They’re never built like me.”
He cocked his head again, sipped more wine. “Why do you think that is? Why do you think they always show skinny people in the movies?”
“Because society’s fucked up.” I could feel my throat tightening, like I was gonna cry.
“This is a safe space,” he reminded, leaning forward in his chair, “if you need to cry, please cry. There is no room for shame here.”
I blinked away tears and continued brokenly. “I just… I hate seeing people who all have the same body-type… I never see people like me on the screen, except for laughs and… I don’t know. I just… I fucking hate it. I wanna see more people like me in leading roles, and…” I broke off, crying.
