to be honest im really sick of the fact that fat people are supposed to suck it up when other peoples worst fear is looking like them

you love fat people outside of sexual contexts too, right?

♡ thank yourself for holding on and surviving ♡

We always have to bear in mind when reading media and the scientific literature on body shape and health (e.g. abdominal fat and insulin resistance) that science is ideologically embedded, and in the global north that means embedded in imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. Anti-fat biases are racialized, gendered, and classed. While it’s true that there are some risks associated with certain bodies—not only people who are larger in the abdomen (which is natural for many populations from the global south) but also shorter life span in tall people, skin cancer in redheads, osteoporosis in thin people, and so on—the risks and bodies that become stigmatized, that are used to fearmonger and to manipulate people’s behavior, are the bodies of the oppressed. We don’t want to dismiss research data out of hand but we do want to remember that prevailing biases shape Science and serve ruling class interests, and we perpetuate harm by collaborating in that

went to a clothing shop while picking up a laptop and they had to audacity to advertise larger sizes *online*. it is explicit policy to exclude me from their public store and relegate my shopping experience to my house. i want to kill

"plus size options available online" is also size discrimination actually. why am i not accommodated in a physical store
