every single conversation abt fatphobia truly goes like

fat people: i am treated horribly by society. thin people harass me, even sexually, devalue me, and endanger my life by not taking my medical issues seriously if they aren't related to weight. health problems are not my main concern, it's genuinely just horrible the way other people treat me. i am seen as sexless and oversexualized. clothes are not made to fit my body. people see me as disgusting, lazy, etc and because of this i'm less likely to be hired for jobs i am more than qualified for. i would be fine with my weight if thin people treated me like a human being rather than a laughing stock or an inconvenience. i am constantly encouraged to put my body through hell and develop an eating disorder to lose weight, or go through invasive surgery that would physically alter the size of my stomach so i would get sick if i ate more than half a healthy meal. i have dieted time and time again and engaged in disordered eating and tortured my body for years/decades trying to lose weight but because this isn't how bodies work it does not happen and i have wasted literal years of my life away devoid of any enjoyment around food.

thin people: why don't you just lose weight then? we're never going to treat you like a human being or reflect on our own behavior. it's your job to cater to us and make US comfortable to be around you. this is your fault <3
