MP Vare’s writing is an act of witness—tending to the quiet corners of lived experience, naming what’s often left unsaid. Their words weave threads of identity, disability, queerness, and healing into stories that invite reflection, belonging, and transformation.

Queerly It's Lipedema
A podcast that shares the experiences, perspectives, and strategies of queer and transgender people living with lipedema.
As a chronic, progressive, painful fat disorder that almost exclusively impacts people assigned female at birth, lipedema presents particular challenges for queer and trans folks interfacing with the medical system and support spaces. We've created this podcast to build the inclusive and affirming resource library we wish we'd had when we received our diagnoses.
