hate when folk call the Sun “our nearest star” no you dweebs that’s OUR STAR! After everything she's done for you and you want to compare her to some lightyears away ass nobody called some shit like Guncho 785B? We're not spinning eternally around any old ball, we’re three deep in the window on board the Sol Train and she did NOT provide the catering, the itinerary and all the fuel to share credit with some two-bit Proxima Centauri hack. point to these nuts in a constellation while you're at it. i love the sun

When people get terrified or outraged at the idea of “glorifying obesity”, I always wonder what it is they’re afraid is going to happen. 

Do they think that all the sudden people who were thin are going rush out to pack on the pounds, or that across the country school kids will be fixated on fat and compete amongst each other to see who can become the fattest, that it’ll show up on the 6 o’ clock news as the latest alarming trend in our nation’s youth?

I mean, do they think that if people see pictures of fat folks looking nice and smiling and being happy and not hating their bodies that everyone who was about to eat a salad is gonna toss it out in favor a cheeseburger (even the vegans!) and cancel their gym memberships?

Are they scared that a $20 billion dollar weight gain industry is gonna crop up and magazines are going to talk about “packing on those last fifteen pounds before summer”. Do they think suddenly there’s gonna be a flood of ads saying, “Gain belly fat using this one weird old tip” on people’s computer screens?

Do these people think positively presented fat bodies are so powerful and persuasive that it will convince thin people to utterly abandon thinness and dedicate themselves to getting as big as they can?

Or are they upset that people who were already fat will go around continuing to be fat without being punished for existing. Perhaps what they fear is that if we “glorify” obesity, that fat hate will make less and less sense to the world in general and that eventually, weight will become a neutral property. Thinness won’t be so valued that it can sustain industries, nor held as the perfect way to have a body but be seen as one among many valid body types. 

Maybe, even worse, all this glorification will lead to the idea that all bodies are valid and that bodies are never anything to be ashamed of or shame someone for.  

I wish this had been in comments and not tags:

This matters. This here. Even if you’re not fat.

It’s important for us to realize that systemic oppression is not just about one group saying “help! help! we’re being oppressed”, it’s about some fundamental part of our society being thrown off by greed/power/hate that it warps logic.

We literally have a society where the paradigm that fat = sick = bad and thin = healthy = good that doctors, as these tags show, will let that guide their professional actions above what actual science and medicine would dictate they should do.

The same thing has been increasingly happening with diabetes type II. It’s known as a “fat” disease, so thin people who are displaying all kinds of symptoms don’t immediately get tested and fat people who are displaying no symptoms get tested even if there’s no reason.

We deserve care from doctors and professionals who listen to us and apply evidence based medicine. If you keep getting ones who don’t, try pushing back against fat hate. Even if you’re not fat.

Fighting fat hate is fighting the notion that people can be reduced down to one or two characteristics (size, race, gender, class, etc) and their care completely dictated by those characteristics rather than medical evidence and inherent respect. The more we do that, the better things get.

Yep! And there have been plenty of fat people who’ve died from cancer because they started losing weight quickly, and their doctor was like “Oh, keep up the good work! :)” and didn’t diagnose them until it was too late. So they died. Rapid weight loss is a sign of a lot of problems.

This is, I think, a thing people have trouble with. They think fatphobia is just “calling fat people mean names” or something.

And, like, you should also not do that, because it’s shitty and being cruel to people about their bodies is BAD, but it’s also frequently not what we’re talking about.

I care if my doctor can deny me medical treatment - or provide substandard medical treatment. I care if a fat person is paid less than a thin person doing the same job. I care if I, as a disabled person, can be denied paratransit services. (Actually a thing in my state! If your disability is “due to alcoholism, drug addiction, or obesity” they can refuse to provide paratransit services.  Which - in practice - just means if you’re disabled AND fat, they can decide it’s “due to obesity” regardless of what your disability actually is.)

I care about those godawful “Workplace Wellness” programs, where fat people end up paying more for their health insurance than someone with a “normal” BMI.*

*You’d think if you were actually concerned about “wellness”, and “We’re just worried about your health!”, they’d want to make sure that the people they view as “unhealthy” have access to medical care.  Of course, you’d also think that if they were, exercise equipment for heavier people would exist, or not be ridiculously expensive.  That’s because it’s not really about “health”, and never was.

It’s the difference between being denied housing or a job because you’re a member of [minority group], and some rando on the street calling you a slur.  They shouldn’t do that! They’re assholes! It’s shitty and upsetting! But it’s not the kind of structural oppression we’re talking about.

There are various chronic health problems that cause weight gain. There are also various TREATMENTS for chronic health problems that cause weight gain.  If your psych meds make you gain weight, but they keep you from killing yourself? The KEEPING YOU ALIVE is the important part.
