NO FATS NO FEMS IS FINALLY YOURS!!!!!🥹💖🌈

I’ve been working on this for over THREE YEARS and I can’t believe I now get to share it with the world.

Thank you to every single contributor who made this possible.

Thank you to @lebassis for the BEAUTIFUL cover art.

Thank you @jasonsambart and @yokics for setting me on this path.

Thank you @theryanamato and the whole team at @harperonebooks and @harper360uk for being the BEST publishing team around, and for guiding me through this every step of the way.

Thank you to YOU, the reader. I cannot believe my lifelong dream of becoming an author has actually come true, and I’m incredibly honoured for it to be covering a topic that’s so close to my heart. But more importantly, a topic that is in dire need of covering.

I can’t promise to have covered absolutely everything within this book, I was 5k words over the word count as it is! But my priority was to ensure that topics were covered in the right depth. My hope is that this isn’t going to be my last book…so who knows, something you may want me to talk about could be in 2.0👀

Finally, my only hope is that this can help in some capacity. If a SINGLE person puts this book down and can comfortably admit that they learned something and understand another queer person a little better, then I’ve done my job.

I honestly don’t know what else to say other than I have so much love in my heart. Thank you🥹

GET YOUR COPY NOWWWWWWW🌈💖

📢 #RepresentationMatters — But What About Plus‑Size Men?

We talk a lot about fashion ignoring plus-size women — but plus-size men are still almost invisible on the runway. Across Spring/Summer 2026 Menswear Fashion Weeks in Milan, Paris, and London: 98.5% of looks were straight-size, ~1.2% mid-size, and only 0.3% plus-size. 👔🤷‍♂️

Some incredible trailblazers are changing the narrative:
📸 @zachmiko , @_adydelvalle @erikcavanaugh — walked @reneecafaroatelier Out of Scale at NYFW S/S26.
📸 @corbincaptures — appeared at London Fashion Week with S.S. Daley and Di Petsa.
📸 @sl.vno — walked Paris Fashion Week for Doublet and Asquin.
📸 @treybell25 & Arcadio Del Valle — featured in ASOS and VOLARE presentations.

Even with these moments, plus-size male representation remains extremely rare, proving fashion has a long way to go in reflecting real men’s bodies.

✨ It’s time for real size inclusivity across ALL runways, not token gestures. Fashion is for every body.
