honestly at the end of the day fatphobes want us to jump through this hoop of proving we can be both fat and healthy, & they’re obsessed with the idea that it’s just not possible, but the whole damn argument is irrelevant because it doesn’t MATTER if we’re healthy or not, we STILL need to be treated with basic human dignity. healthy people are not inherently worth more than unhealthy people
im glad people are discussing fatphobia but please don’t throw disabled & chronically ill fat people under the bus while defending metabolically healthy fat people! health is not equivalent to morality or worth & unhealthy fat people’s bodies are no more the business of thin folks than the bodies of metabolically healthy ones.
fatphobia can not be disconnected from ableism. defend and support fat disabled people!!
that’s absolutely right, even if it were always unhealthy to be overweight for every single person and always reversible like they want to think, it still isn’t anyone else’s fucking business to care what you look like or why and it’s 100% okay to be comfortable or even happy overweight.
I don’t believe even one person who says they’re rude about it “out of concern for people’s health.” Each and every single last one of them 100% without exception is using that as an excuse for the fun little thrill they get when they bully somebody. That’s patently obvious from the very way they word their arguments.
