I feel like when people shut down ANY debate around ozempic with "don't talk about other people's bodies / choices" what they actually mean is just "stop questioning thinness as the ideal".

What I need people who aren't fat and aren't disabled to understand too is that doctors are actively pushing Ozempic on us even when it would be actively harmful to us. Ozempic is contraindicated for several of my conditions, it would actually damage my heart. But I have had doctors literally put the Ozempic needle in my hand and tell me "I can't treat you if you don't take this." I got told to take Ozempic at my ADHD assessment. I got told to take Ozempic when I was having my regular endometriosis checkup. It isn't just "judging other people" there is a serious, genuine problem with how it is being forced on people, especially disabled people being falsely told we won't get treatment if we don't go on it. I'm very lucky that 1, I did the reading and found out "holy shit this actually would be very dangerous for me" and 2, I have a fantastic GP who understands my conditions and told me directly "I would never recommend Ozempic to someone with your conditions" but most disabled people do not have the luxury of a good GP who has your back (and note that I'm in Australia so I actually have time to talk to my GP for longer than 15 minutes)
