@Jameson_Chap @CheriLev I was put on my first diet at 8 because my pediatrician said, in front of me, that if I reached puberty being fat I would be fat my whole life. I am indeed fat, and that was because of all the weight cycling and dieting cycles, and medical profession still hasn’t changed much ☹️

HALF of trans and non-binary youth have considered suicide in the past year. 20% have attempted suicide. Yet 50% doesn’t find it safe to disclose their struggles and 70% find support online. TP’s visuals are incredible in disseminating this important & heartbreaking data https://twitter.com/trevorproject/status/1653006352153755650

“We’ve spent four decades in a public health panic about rising childhood ob*sity & not only failed to solve that “crisis” we’ve stoked another fire” @v_solesmith

Wrong epidemic

Trying to treat ob*sity is creating #eatingdisorders

How loudly can I scream this???

The number of people who argue w me because of course being fat is unhealthy - it’s science - as if science isn’t ripe w bias & doesn’t constantly change as we get new & better data
Thank you @v_solesmith - I’m only on the introduction & feel these words deep in my soul
