The idea that it’s somehow degrading for a fat person to date someone who prefers their body type is wild. “Don’t be with someone who likes you for your body, be with someone who likes you for you!” No one would ever discourage a thin person for dating someone who was… attracted to them? In fact, it’s considered something of a prerequisite. Ultimately it’s the idea that the only genuine, trustworthy attraction to fat people is in spite of their appearance.
i need you to understand that when i talk about medical fatphobia (or fatphobia in general) i am especially talking about the fattest person you could ever fucking imagine. yes i am also talking about small fat people and “chubby” people. but i am ESPECIALLY talking about people who are so fat they can’t take care of themselves, who can’t walk, who can’t take care of hygiene independently, who do nothing but sit/lie down all day and eat.
you need to get in your head that these fat people are human too, who are deserving of good healthcare. if you only support people who are a little fat or if your support is conditional based on weight and peoples efforts to lose weight or not, it’s not support. it’s eugenics.

Larger bodied people often encounter reminders that their bodies are the “wrong” size, and that there’s something wrong with them. Lots of minor discomforts, and a few major discomforts, add up over the course of the day. It can make people feel like they don’t fit in, don’t belong, in this world that was not built to accommodate them.
Making the world accessible to people of all body sizes is important to me. Comfort is important, but that’s not the only thing. It’s not just about safety either (which is also incredibly important). This is about inclusion and about making sure that everyone feels like there is space for them in this world. As advocates for body liberation, as so many of us are, we must continue to center the experiences of those who face significant systemic barriers to just EXISTING in their bodies.

There is no fashion or aesthetic that is "ruined" by being fat, btw

Fat Rights? Fat Chance! A History of Fat Liberation In The United States From 1967-1974
by @fatliberation
During the height of the Vietnam War, two months before Woodstock, one month before the moon landing, and just two weeks before the Stonewall Rebellion took place merely twenty miles away, another thread of U.S. history was quietly being written. On June 13th, 1969, an engineering student with no prior experience in political organizing and his fat comrades gathered in Westbury, N.Y. and ratified a constitution for a new human rights movement that was deemed shocking, laughable, and entirely unheard of.
Hey, everybody! My new article is finally finished and available to pre-read on ko-fi for $5. This is a dense history of organized fat activism in the U.S., focused on the late 60s to mid 70s. Learn about the Central Park Fat-In, the beginnings of the world’s first-documented fat rights organization, and the concurrent movement of feminist fat resistance led by queer practitioners of Radical Therapy (and more).
Like always, this article will eventually be unlocked for free, most likely in two or three months, depending on pre-sales. If you benefit from my work and are feeling resourced, consider making yours a recurring monthly tip so you don't lose access to my articles after 30 days.
I hope you enjoy the article and learn something new about fat history!
@fatliberation published a supporter-only post on Ko-fi!
I post a lot about how fat people deserve to feel sexy and are hot, which is true, but I do also want to remind everyone that fat people should also be able to exist and be respected without being sexualised or you being attracted to them. You should respect people and treat them normally regardless of how attracted to them you are. If your activism centres purely around how much you can sexualise a marginalised group, your activism is shit, sorry
just being fat in public gives you weird ahh looks especially if you let the tiniest sliver of belly hang out and live your life peacefully instead of pulling your pants up uncomfortably or pulling your shirt down constantly 💔
This is agorableism and fatphobia.
People should not have to be ashamed by being fat in public. It’s the way bodies are. Treating fat people like they should hide only creates a toxic environment.

FUCK YEAH ACTUALLY FAT MARTIN INCREDIBLE
Why is there like 0 good guides for drawing superfat people im trying to draw a superfat oc of mine and I cannot for the life of me find any actually helpful guides please does anyone know any good guides
I think fat representation is important no matter what. Fat people of all sizes are essential and should be welcomed in every space.
And as such, I wish there was more acceptance and positive portrayal of big fat, superfat, and infinifat people, both in the fat liberation community and in studies, books, shows, movies, etc. Yes, even the "gross," "weird," "ugly," and "unhealthy" ones.
We're common enough to be an epidemic, but not so common we can't see ourselves in superheroes, dancers, even background characters? Come on.
Thank you to all big fat, superfat, and infinifat people. You deserve the best and more.
(any fatphobic or healthist comments on this post get you an instant block)
being fat is hard because you don’t just run into inaccessibility that affects only you. for example, if i’m bigger than a car seat is built for, then i inconvenience those sitting next to me. if i’m bigger than a room is built for, i encroach on others space. it makes the fat person feel like it’s a personal fault, and skinny people are often not kind to fat folks who take up space. i want to make this clear: it is Not the fat persons fault AND i understand the strain and shame it can cause fat people. this world is built to exclude fat people. fitting of my favorite phrase inspired by the social model of disability; it’s not the fat persons fault, it’s the worlds fault.
You think if we get rid of fatphobia it'll be socially acceptable to ask a woman if she's pregnant?
being very fat means that sometimes you will encounter a chair that is so spindly, so fragile, so delicate. sometimes you will encounter a chair that is made of matchsticks and dreams. and has a seat the size of an ipad. a chair that resembles a newly born deer taking its first shaky steps. being very fat means that sometimes a thin person will offer this chair to you as a seat and not even think about it. meanwhile you, the fat person, if you listen very closely and with an open heart, can actually hear the chair whimpering and coughing like a sick victorian child. a thin person will offer this chair to you, a very fat person, and you have to look at them. and then the chair. and then your hips. and back at them. and be like. let's be real. can we please be real for a second. can we please use our spatial awareness right now. like it's okay we are allowed to use our spatial awareness when it comes to my ass. it's all good.
Say what you will about Tumblr, but all the perverts simping on fat people have done so so much to kill my own fatphobia. Like I've gained some weight in HRT Year One, as is normal and good, and I really don't think I'd love my body as much if I hadn't seen people go slightly feral over tummy and rolls.
And like, it's not as if I grew up isolated from fat people, both my parents have been various levels of fat all their lives, but their attitude towards that was always so toxic. I only realised recently how often my mum puts herself down by calling herself fat or other words to that effect.
Idk I'm just really grateful for the fact that I can look at my own tummy and mainly see how soft it makes me look, and how the lines on my torso from slouching define my shape so nicely, and how my stretch marks are proof that my body is changing and growing and that's GOOD because I'M alive and changing growing!!
We need to get meaner to antifat people I'm so not kidding I'm so serious
