"Do You Care About My Health, or Just Think I’m Gross? Be Honest."

This is a great article about fat-acceptance and concern-trolling.

Read it here.

Tl;dr

"Here’s the thing, though: fat people have a right to exist, no matter what their health status is, and their health status is both not your business and not evidence to be used when determining whether they should be found wanting. Fatness is just a characteristic, one with which many people have a complex relationship because it’s socially loaded. Your judgement about fat has not been requested, nor is it required."

About Me

S Rae
I’m a newly fat woman who has embraced her chunk. I may or may not spend too much time thinking about race, gender, patriarchy, feminism, fat acceptance, the prison industrial complex, sweat shops, and factory farming.
