1) the even bigger stigmatization of eating disorders within the movement than anywhere outside it. The same way first- and second-wave feminism shunned and shamed lesbians for fear of getting a reputation as "man-hating dykes," Fat Acceptance does the same to those with eating disorders in order not to tarnish their image of "fat and proudly normal." As a result, many women in the Fat Acceptance movement who struggle with eating disorders have to remain in the closet about their problem if they want any support from even their fellow fat people. That disgusts me on several levels.
2) The insistence that even entertaining the thought of losing weight, for any reason, is betraying the movement and all it stands for. That even if your doctor tells you that you need to lose weight in order to manage or mitigate a specific health issue like diabetes or sleep apnea or heart disease, or even that you need to go on a restrictive diet to manage ailments such as gastroenteritis, gallbladder syndrome, or ulcerative colitis or IBS, you need to stick to your guns because you are fat and proud and that's all that matters.
This is why I'm more on board with Health At Every Size rather than Fat Acceptance. Because no matter what size you are, overall good health should be your goal rather than society's fucked up standards of beauty.
