Anyone has a tip when discussing fatphobia how to deal with "you're all just too sensitive, grow up!" It annoys me so much and I get it way too often.
Well, for starters. To tell someone that they’re too sensitive is condescending. Its usually a way people try and invalidate other’s feelings or shut them up on a topic. I find a lot of times shitty people say shitty things and when others call them out for their shittiness they tell them they’re “too sensitive” There is nothing wrong with being sensitive. You feeling passionate on a topic such a fatphobia is important to you.
I’m a sassy queer. I dont like when people push me around. [ also, im hella sensitive ] So, here are some suggestions on what i might say. “If being sensitive means that I’m more aware of how shitty society treats a certain group of people, then yea, im hella sensitive. “
“I’m being perfectly reasonable. You’re the one thats a problem. “
“I’m may be sensitive, but at least I’m not an asshole.”
Anyone else have suggestions for our friend?
