@MartyCormack @ascentale @InkySchwartz @bikenite Back when Storify was a thing, I had a whole Storify documenting how the same places that would tell me as a fat woman that I "need to exercise more" had shitloads of car parking spaces and no accessible cycle parking (or cycle parking at all).

From "cute chubby" to "whale," the words used to talk about fat women in Brazilian digital ads range across six categories. Is obesity being romanticized, or are fat women just finally visible?

Me: Hello, I'd like a reasonable accommodation related to my weight.

U.S. Legal System: Sure, you just first need to prove that it's not your fault you're fat.

Me: Sigh.

You can tell folk that you smoke ten packs a day, eat nothing but hamburgers, sit at your desk for ten hours a day with no breaks, and haven't exercised in ten years and they'll go, "cool. Cool." But the moment you tell them you're the slightest bit overweight suddenly they're very worried about your health.

Medical contradiction. In the same conversation about a transplant the surgeon stated that the heavier you are the less healthy you are and wont survive sugery, then said that heavier people make better donors than thin people due to the quality of their organs.

All this says to me is that surgeons are not competent to work on fat patients and want them to die to give their organs to the chosen thin people, who are not healthy

Notice how when 'people' are trying to weight shame someone online they always use "300lbs" as the supposed insult? I can only assume that these idiots all use the same number because they are braindead drones who can't think for themselves.

So much ableism and fatphobia from the left. Mama, not mine but someone else's somewhere said that people only go after someone's appearance or disabilities during conflict if they don't have anything important to say. And we have mountains of important things to say that shouldn't really include double chins and diapers. The end.
