As a certified hilarious fat person I think we should allow fat people to be unfunny. Idk let fat people be serious or sad and everything in between. Fat people shouldn’t have to be funny to take up space but I feel like that’s often how it’s allowed.

Literally being perceived as the “funny fat person” makes my skin crawl to the point where I hate making people laugh 💀

Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant.

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%.

“It’s not fat phobia! Fat people have higher rates of complications from surgery!! Doctors are just being prudent!”

People with diabetes and hepatitis C are not routinely denied kidney transplants, even though their conditions dramatically increase the risk of complication and death.

Also, when they are on dialysis, fat people have a survival advantage over thin people. Does this mean we should deny thin people dialysis until they can gain weight? Wouldn’t that be prudent?

“If you give a fat person a kidney, you’re throwing away an organ that could save someone’s life!”

Providing kidney transplants to fat people saves lives. Fat people who receive a kidney transplant experience a 48 - 66% reduction in the risk of death in the year following the transplant, compared to fat people who do not receive a transplant.

“Fat people have higher rates of complications sweaty, that’s why they are denied transplants <3″

Fat people have an approximately 20% to 40% greater risk of death in the eight years following a kidney transplant compared to thin people (although we cannot know if that increased risk was caused by a delay in treatment, weight regain post transplantation among patients required to lose weight, or another confounding factor). But that risk is far outweighed by the survival benefits of transplantation, leading researchers to conclude that “obesity should not be a contraindication for transplantation.”

But honestly, this entire conversation is despicable. Inhuman. Soulless. People are actually conducting research to determine whether fat people should be offered life-saving medical care. Our world hates fat people so much, that this question seems reasonable to ask.

The “its throwing away a kidney that could save a life!” Argument is especially despicable to me because it makes clear that they don’t consider a fat person a living, sentient person.

wish we could spend less time telling fat people that they're ~still sexy and fuckable~ and more time telling thin people that their bodies aren't a sign of superiority

sexualising fat bodies doesn't fix the problem

how is that gonna help fat children being bullied. how is that gonna help people being treated like shit at work. how does that help people who's medical needs aren't being met because their doctors can't see past their weight.

it's not just about feeling desirable it's about being respected and valued as people

stop humiliating fat children/fat teens/fat young adults/fat adults/fat folks in general. stop questioning/speculating on our food intake, our energy out put, how our individual bodies must feel, what our health is,etc.

Jealous of the flawless curves and perfect proportions of plus-sized models? Don’t be — many of them wear padding for photoshoots.

“They come as a set — pairs of flesh-colored butt, breast, and thigh pads, along with a spandex girdle to stuff them in — and are packed in a little, black bag. They’re part of the standard equipment a plus-size model carries. Sabina, who’s about a size 12, often needs pads to fit the size 14 or 16 samples of clothing that she’s asked to model. This is not uncommon: She says she uses pads in about half her shoots, and all the models we spoke to have used them. “

…I’m somewhere between 14. I’ve been a 16 and I have been killing myself over the years to look like these women that aren’t even freakin real…

This is so grimy man. I’m hurt. Like if you knew the things I’ve done to try achieve a flat stomach

^^^^^^^^^^^^ And this is why folks have “The Right Kind of Fat” image in their heads! The no-belly, perfect-thighs, no-cellulite, smaller arms, rounded in all the right place fat girls. YES these kinds of women do exist, but they aren’t the ones being photographed. Smaller girls in fat pads are. And it is wicked painful when folks wonder why you can’t be the plus sized girl in the magazine.

is there some kind of reason

people cannot just employ

actual fat girls to model fat girl clothes

I’m Running 10 Marathons This Year And I Still Get Fat-Shamed. Here’s My Response.

By Guest Writer Latoya Shauntay Snell

Last year, I completed two 50Ks and four marathons ― three of which were done within a two-month span. And just a week before I participated in the New York City Marathon, I also completed my first 100K ― the Javelina Jundred event in the Arizona desert, which involves running roughly 62 miles.

This year I signed up for 10 marathons and a 50-miler, and I intend on running in my first 100-miler. Still, despite earning over 100 finisher medals and completing close to 200 running, cycling and obstacle course racing events over a span of five years, the internet police continue to remind me to lose some weight. I’m an unapologetic 5’3, 242-pound road and trail ultra runner from Brooklyn sponsored by HOKA ONE ONE running shoe company, and I am continuously fat-shamed.

On Jan. 3, I posted a video on my Instagram account of my fitness regimen. A day later, this same post resurfaced as a suggestion on my Instagram “Explore” page as a repost by a person followed by more than 50,000 people. Despite not tagging me in the comments, the poster expressed “concern” that while my “advanced workouts” are admirable, she “feared for the shock” that it would place on my fat body.

Perhaps this person thought I would and should feel comforted by the condolences that she (and her sizable following) offered about my “weight loss journey,” but I didn’t. Even worse, when I tried to have a private conversation with this person, she immediately blocked me.

Frankly, I’m not sure which part of the post was the most humorous to me: the part where several Google and WebMD doctors who knew nothing about my five-year fitness journey sounded off on what they must have assumed to be my unhinged eating habits or the countless people who suggested that a woman shouldn’t lift weights and should stick to cardiovascular activities.

Over the years, I’ve encountered so many people who are absolutely mind-boggled when they learn I work out or participate in a multitude of events for reasons besides weight loss. And the disapproving commentary doesn’t just happen online ― I’ve experienced it offline, too. It’s only been a bit over a year since I was fat-shamed at the 2017 New York City Marathon. But the abuse began long before that.
