A Lot Of People Seem To Think Fatphobia Begins And Ends With Outright Hatred. Like The Only Way To Be

A lot of people seem to think fatphobia begins and ends with outright hatred. Like the only way to be fatphobic is to be mean to fat people to our faces.

When I say it's fatphobic to complain about your own weight gain, I'm not saying it's just as bad as bullying other people. I'm not saying that you're a Bad Person™️ for feeling insecure. I'm not saying that you're not allowed to want your own body to be different. I'm not saying you have no reason to feel that way. I'm not saying I think you necessarily hate anyone.

I'm saying you're buying into the idea that being fat is inferior. That can take infinite forms because that idea is so intricately baked into the society we live in, we've all been exposed to it. And that means we need to 1) name it and 2) make a conscious effort to unlearn it, and be prepared to struggle and fuck up as we go.
