Some people being naturally a little thicc or chubby or wide set or whatever does not mean that obesity or god forbid morbid obesity is a naturally occurring bodytype that has no consequences or ramifications on a person’s health. It’s so obvious you’re relying on people accepting the common conflation of these things to push a woefully obvious motte and bailey while you spread actual disinformation about the most common disease in the west. And that’s really disgusting of you.

Let me be clear about something, treating fat people badly is disgusting. You shouldn't treat anyone badly, and no one should feel unwelcome in places, especially common places like the gym where people feel unwelcome or unsafe, everyone has a place there.

However, expecting society to conform to you, isn't something that anyone should expect.

You will not fit in every clothing brand. I am a small person, and often I can't find clothes small enough to fit me due to things like inconsistent sizing. Often stores will carry up to a 3X and will not carry a size smaller than a S or XS, and I simply can't fit in the clothing item, which sucks, but then I go find somewhere else.

Not every place will cater to you, and that's okay.

Different things are meant for different people, and that doesn't make it fat-phobia, and I can hold this belief while still believing that of course fat people shouldn't be harassed because no one should. Those beliefs can coexist and it is ridiculous and manipulative to present the idea that they can't.

Friendly reminder that there is such thing as healthy weight gain, which is not talked about enough in the anti-HEAS community.

I have always been a smaller person and still am, but since changing my workouts to be strength based, I have gained lean muscle, which means I have put on a few pounds of weight.

THAT IS NOT A BAD THING.

That is true healthy weight gain, that was supported through movement, discipline and a healthy varied diet.

So if you are smaller, and find yourself putting on a little bit of muscle weight when you start working out differently, that does not mean you are getting unhealthy, and sometimes people need a reminder of that :)

That lower belly bulge is not your uterus, it's fat.

The uterus sits 3-4 inches behind the abdomen, tucked away behind the pelvic bone. If you are not pregnant, you shouldn't be able to see or feel your uterus under the skin.

The lower belly bulge that many women have is actually just fat. It's normal to have extra fat there, it can be protective of inner organs. But it's entirely possible and normal and even sometimes healthy for women to have a completely flat abdomen.

Having a flat tummy does NOT make someone less of a woman, it does not mean they're fake or photoshopped, it does not make them unhealthy, and I'm tired of seeing this disinformation everywhere. The more you know.
