Fat acceptance =/= encouraging unhealthy lifestyle
What is perceived as fat in our society is not actually fat by realistic standards. Especially for women. The bodies we see on TV are not actually bodies most of us can have. So yes, some people oppose that line of thinking and rightfully so.
But yes, some people really are fat, and yes, obesity as a real issue. And sure, if you go over a certain weight that is bad for your health (There are people who deny that, but that’s just ludicrous too) – but the point is, there is a difference between acknowledging that weight can be a health issue and discriminating fat people because of it.
The fact is that fat people generally know they’re fat, they know it has risks, and they do not need you to tell them that. They have been told a thousand times over. If they wish o lose weight, that is between them and their doctor (and really, if it were that easy we’d all be thin).
The fact s you’re making a judgment about people based on their physical appearance – without even knowing what caused the weight gain, as there are many medical conditions that do. Fact is, even if the weight is caused by a medical condition fat people do not we you an explanation about their medical condition .
You can fully acknowledge that weight can be a health risk, but achnowledge that someone else’s weight and medical status is none of your business. It’s not mutually exclusive you know.
Re: Fat acceptance =/= encouraging unhealthy lifestyle
Fucking THIS.
We know. Some of us absolutely despise ourselves for it, causing depression and all kinds of self-esteem problems. We don't fucking need people shoving it down our damn throats.
