It’s definitely a product of Puritanism and not feminism but it’s still interesting that for the thousands of jobs Barbie has had, the one thing she never was was pregnant.

As someone who had one of these surgeries, this is truly terrifying. I don't doubt, she'd been told she'd "die young" without the surgery. She was 54.

i don't think "therapy speak" actually comes from therapy tho. it comes from online. i've literally never had a therapist use words like "toxic" and "trauma dumping" in a session lol

Therapy doesn’t work for abusers **because they choose to weaponize resources as another form of abuse** …they absolutely can change. They choose not to.

What if I said that asking her to delete her OnlyFans would also not be okay

The total blinders fatphobia gives people in re: to the health issues experienced by thin and super fit people is absolutely bonkers.
Thin people get cancer
Thin people need knee replacements
Thin people have chronic illness
Thin people die young
IWL is not a cure all

Your mental illness doesn’t excuse your fatphobia.
Your eating disorder doesn’t excuse your fatphobia.
Your body dysmorphia doesn’t excuse your fatphobia.
Imagine suggesting your depression was a reason you shouldn’t be held accountable for your homophobia 😬 like what?!

imagine your whole personality was just hating fat people

medical fatphobia is actually really easy to unlearn once you find out that the calorie science (both in terms of your body and in terms of food's caloric content) is BARELY (and often incorrectly) understood.

When someone says that they wouldn’t date a plus size person because they want someone who “takes care of themselves,” we know it has nothing to do with a sexual preference and everything to do with fatphobia and the generalization that fat people don’t take care of themselves.

Whenever we talk about weight loss being fatphobic y’all act like you cnt understand anything. It’s the same as ppl who bleach their skin. The desire to do these things on an individual level does not happen in a vacuum, it’s the results of systematic oppression.

The diet industry likes ot claim that “people regain their weight because they went back to their old habits” which is a pretty disingenuous way of saying “starvation is unsustainable" and "weight loss attempts lead to physiological changes that cause weight regain."

Nothing says patriarchy is over like acknowledging the contributions of 50% of the population once every 364 days.

As a fat person, is obvious to me that this moralization underlies nearly all fatphobia - and ties right back into religion, bootstraps capitalism, and anti blackness.

Sometimes I think that fat acceptance is making progress and then something like the Ozempic craze comes along and reminds me that people would rather shit their brains out daily and never enjoy food again than ever look like me, or even me at my thinnest! Seems apt on #EDAW2023
Victoria Nachos *collector’s edition* retweeted
People who are on Ozempic keep saying “I never think about or want food anymore! Is this what it’s like to have a normal relationship to food?” NO. It is normal to want food. It is normal to enjoy food. YOU WOULD DIE WITHOUT FOOD.

I testified on behalf of fat performing artists today to the NYC City Council – in support of INT-0209 to ban weight discrimination in New York City. We deserve protections in the workplace. GO #NAAFA and a big hug to all my fat comrades who bravely spoke to their experiences.

Furthermore, if you’re going to get someone to write about Ozempic, fatphobia, and dieting crazes, it would be wise to tap someone, anyone, who understands the nuances of fat liberation. Let’s not pretend as if dieting is an apolitical choice. It has never been and will never be.
