Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them

truly i think part of why fatphobia is so tempting to a lot of not fat people no matter how 'progressive' they are is simply because it gives one a way to feel better. when society tells you you're inherently more virtuous because you're slim, you perceive any social gains (with or without regards to body image/beauty/etc) made by the "ugly" people as a slight on you, an attack on your heightened position. it's (part of) why some skinny women get so completely bent out of shape seeing someone like lizzo be widely loved and praised. that's not allowed! she's fat! I'M supposed to be better! a lot of these people are utterly miserable and self hating and they hate having their one little trophy taken away so they hold it over their head and hit people with it

#fatphobia tw #obviously antiblackness plays a big role in the way people treat lizzo as well #but fat famous women in general tend to be subject to similar flavors of clout chasing thin women

fat person: “i really hate how fat ppl are treated in our society, we are literally dying from medical fatphobia and are forced to loose weight before doctors will help you with an issue that has nothing to do with weight. they’d rather let us die than help us. eating disorders are rampant among fat people and we go without support and treatment because either no one believes us or they encourage restrictive eating disorders because they want us to loose weight. we get shamed for using fast fashion when there’s literally no ethical brands with affordable clothing in fat sizes. we are constantly told how unlovable, unattractive and worthless we are because of our weight. if ur not fat or have never been fat u will not understand.”

skinny ppl for no damn reason: “ok but consider this; someone told me to eat once and i find that oppressive.”

So, apparently, there is a new Carrie movie in the works, and they plan to cast a skinny person as Carrie White, who is a fat protagonist in the book, that they made skinny in its popular adaptation. I can understand that it's a dated movie, but standards should be higher, and fat characters need to stop being made into skinny characters. The story is not the same with Carrie White being skinny. She is a fat character, and her being fat is important. I am extremely disappointed. Let fat characters exist and let them be played by fat people. Stop taking their fatness out of their stories and out of their appearance. I sincerely hope that this turns out not to be true and that an actual fat person is cast as the character and that Carrie's fatness is reintroduced to the story.

it rlly saddens me to see that fatphobic jokes are so prevalent in children's media. i can't imagine how fat kids must feel being the target of movies and cartoons they're supposed to enjoy.

[solojihyo]

anyways that minghao interview with him saying fatphobic shit is just. very upsetting. and while i'm aware that we don't know everything about our favs, and i'm not entirely surprised he has that type of mindset, i really did think that minghao knew better than to say shit like that in an interview of all places. it's so sad to see how rampant fatphobia is in the kpop industry to the point where you see idols being blatantly fatphobic so often you're practically desensitized to it. and minghao has been an idol for years - you really can't defend him by saying his comments are a "cultural" thing when he has an international audience. i just really hope i don't see carats defending his comments. that would be a shitty thing to do.

#isai.txt #fatphobia tw #okay to reblog btw #this is also upsetting to me personally but. sighs #will be even more upset if i see anyone defending him

Yeah no actually fuck BG3. I've been made aware the only fat characters in it are the enemies. From evil ogres to the an enemy that represents greed to a miniboss that drinks until his belly bursts open. You all just uncritically consume that. I'm still baffled I've seen no talks about it despite constantly hearing praise for the game. I tried looking into a mod to play the game as a fat character and I've only found one, on a fat fetish website, that had obviously fetishized proportions for female characters only.

On the other hand tho, I've found countless forum pages saying fatphobic stuff like how you should die in game of a heart attack if you made a fat character, how fat people are gross, how it doesn't make sense to be fat, how they don't want to see a fat character in their game, fat people are unhealthy and don't deserver to be represented, etc. And I mean actually a hundred of those. Do better gamers, call this out and at the very least be aware of it

Honestly sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t even HAVE to label my stories as chubby!reader inserts, because I rarely see people putting a disclaimer saying the reader is skinny. I tag fixer upper as a chubby reader insert because (Name) IS chubby, but I don’t label the fic or give warnings 🤷‍♀️

I only put warnings and label so people that are chubby people can find my fics easier, and I don’t get attacked by fatphobes(which has happened so many times even WHEN my fics are labeled!!)

I know it can suck reading a fic then realizing there’s part of the reader that doesn’t look like you, but just understand that for fat/chubby/plus-sized/tall people people, that is the norm! The reader insert is almost ALWAYS described as small, with a tiny frame and slim waist.

My fics cater to fat people because I’m fat 🤷‍♀️ I write for myself! I’ll keep writing for myself.

I'm not gonna lie Nick, I've been following you for a long time and I almost always agree with what you say so this isn't in any way meant to be polemic or hostile and you don't have to answer if you don't want to. But, as a trans person myself, I don't understand how genital preference can be transphobic? I mean, the way people declare it can be transphobic, or the reason for it - but preference itself? isn't it, for most people at least, an intrinsic thing? Again I'm not asking this to bait you into discourse or anything I just. Genuinely trust your judgment on things. that's all, love <3

If you don’t want to sleep with someone because they’re, for example, fat, or disabled, or intersex, or have some other physical characteristic that would alter a sexual encounter in a way you wouldn’t expect with a “default” or “normal” body - is that not on some level bigoted? If you tried to sleep with a cis guy but found out he had a micro penis and decided against sleeping with him, or you tried to hook up with a cis woman with large labia and got turned off, is that “just an intrinsic preference”?

Yes people have preferences and preferences do not carry inherent moral judgement. But it’s worth asking: where do my preferences come from? if you meet a trans person, and you are attracted to them, and the only reason you don’t want to sleep with them is because you don’t want to interact with their genitals, because you believe a trans person’s genitals are universally unattractive, then like, why lol? “Transphobic” is a flat descriptor for bigoted beliefs or assumptions about trans people, and in the pantheon of transphobic things to believe or say or do, that’s not like super high on the list. I don’t think you’re an irredeemably bad person or whatever. You are also not doing activism by having sex with people you’re not attracted to or don’t want to have sex with, I’m not suggesting anyone do that because that would be bad for everyone involved. But attraction is socially mediated and explored - fetishes, kinks, turn-ons and turn offs can have embedded social values in them, some of them good and some of them not - and if your only hang-up with fucking a trans person is because they have “incorrect” or “incongruous” genitals to what you normally expect, then I think that’s a shitty hang-up to have. Is it “intrinsic” to find a trans person’s body a turn off? Are we intrinsically programmed as human beings to find transgender people’s genitals unsexy? I think any appeals to intrinsic nature quickly get into essentialistic territory, because whatever is intrinsic or “human nature” is necessarily outside of the social, incapable of change, and I don’t think it does any good to insist that the domain of sexual preferences exists outside of the social and political realms.

Yes sex will be different with a trans person who hasn’t had full bottom surgery than it would be with a cis person, and yes you will need to have conversations about what feels good or look shit up online (which you would do with a cis partner anyway!), but unless you’re solely interested in like, missionary reproductive PIV cishet sex catholic style for the rest of your life, I think it’s worth interrogating why trans genitals are a hard no for someone, especially when “genital preference” is such a handy shorthand for cis people to articulate their deep seated rage, disgust, and fear of trans people in a “polite” or inoffensive way - and, often, in a violent way, and that violence is rationalised on the basis of the “common sense” belief that trans people trick cis people into having sex with us despite our “bad” genitals.

I don’t want to have sex with anybody who thinks my body is disgusting and I’m assuming most people don’t want that either lol. But a lot of cis people find my body disgusting because it’s a trans body, and a huge part of that disgust is because I don’t have a dick - worse, I have a “mutilated” “grotesque” version of “female anatomy” because of T. None of those evaluations of a tran’s guys genitals are intrinsic, nor do they exist outside of social values about what “normal” or “beautiful” bodies look like.

And again to use the fat example, it took a lot of personal work for me to properly admire fat people because of how ingrained fatphobia is, and part of that fatphobia was directed towards myself - it took years for me to find myself even remotely attractive, especially as I progressively gained weight into adulthood. And that is not for “activist” reasons, it’s not activism to find fat people hot - but I am consciously working through some of the shit society tells you is gross or bad about human bodies and it’s made my life better lol, and as a consequence I can fully allow myself to admire other fat people. I think any state of mind that allows you to find beauty in more places, find pleasure in a wider range of human forms, is generally a good thing. I once dated a guy who hated his nipples being touched because he thought it was gay to enjoy that, and like, sex with him sucked lmfao. he was incredibly homophobic and that homophobia directly impacted the amount of pleasure he was willing to engage with, both with himself and with a partner.

So yes I do think it’s transphobic. It’s not end-of-the-world transphobia, you’re not a permanently shit human being, but anyone who refuses to have sex with trans people on the basis of us having the “wrong” genitals is not worth pursuing because we deserve to sleep with people who find us hot and don’t need to “rationalise” away touching our genitals. I don’t want to have sex with those people and no trans person should either. But I’m not giving cis people an out with “oh it’s just a preference” because I think that’s a very lazy and unserious way of engaging with your own desires

this is apropros of nothing, but a while ago i had a little lymphoma scare because of some blood values (i'm fine), and when i talked to a dr for reassurance, they casually joked that at least a few rounds of cyclophosphamide would also take care of my "weight problem" and every time i remember this i lose my fucking mind because what in the actual genuine fuck

One thing that pushed me to looking into fat liberation and whatnot was to see how fat people literally can't win.

A fat person could eat nothing but fruits and vegetables and drink water, and exercise every day, and there would still be people telling them that they need to "get healthy". A fat person can do whatever they could do do the "right" things for their bodies, and if they still live in a fat body, they are mistreated. The only way fat people can "win" in this scenario is if they stopped existing - which is impossible.

Fatness isn't a punishment for moral faliure. It's something that happens for many reasons.

[brettdoesdiscourse]

Part of the reason fatphobia is so dangerous is because people don't see it as systematic oppression. Even if people think fatphobia is bad, they just say "oh you should be body positive" or "it's bad to be mean to someone about their appearances."

As though fat people don't literally die every day due to systematic fatphobia. As though society isn't literally designed to be inaccessible for fat people. As though fat people aren't looked at as subhuman due to their weight. As though being fat doesn't cause you to not be taken seriously by medical professionals and thus lead to you not getting the treatment you need.

every day i find out more "health science" thats used to justify fatphobia is bullshit. for instance did you know that the fda's recommended 2000 calories a day that's on all the nutrition labels is made up and also not even a recommendation. first of all, The intent of the 2000 number and the percentages on nutrition labels is as a quick way to gauge what, for instance, 500mg of sodium is, not as actual health advice. they got the number by taking a survey of people and asking how many calories they had per day (and people probably underreported, as people tend to do). women said 1600-2200 calories/day, men said 2000-3000 calories/day, and children said 1800-2500. the fda thought about making the "average" used on nutrition labels 2,350 calories per day, but the people (average consumers btw, not scientists, just random people) who responded to a survey about what the benchmark should be said 2350 Sounded too high, and nutrition educators thought it would make people overeat if the average was 2350, so they rounded it down by 20% to 2,000. literally they took a survey of average people, lowered the numbers so americans wouldnt be "encouraged" to eat "too much," and ran with it . bonkers
