as someone that has both been chubby and skinny, i am treated better skinny. and im pretty flat, and i’ve been called a little girl, yet i know my life is so much easier than it would be if i was fat. skinny ppl get shamed but they don’t get oppressed

and before u ask what oppression fat people face: - doctors literally dismissing serious medical concerns because of your weight - many spaces not being accessible - clothing not fitting or being more expensive - horrible vitriol online and in person - met with terrible stereotypes and more, which i’m sure a fat person could explain in better detail.

As someone who’s currently in the middle, I get told by doctors that I’m fat and that I need to lose weight. When I was skinny they treated me better, when I was fat it was because of weight, I’m in the middle now and they treat me like I’m a fat ass.

Wait is that what someone meant when she called me a little girl 🧍🏽‍♀️ that’s an off topic thought but yes as someone who used to be obese, they get more oppressed than a skinny person. They just like to complain how small they are but ignore how overweight women are treated like they’re actual poop

I’ve had an ed for over a decade and it has shifted throughout that time. When you’re skinny people almost put you on a pedestal in some way or another. When you’re fat you get shamed and ridiculed no matter how much effort you put in

Bigger clothes require more fabric, that’s just physics. Accessibility is good, but it’s s impractical to make every space accessible to every person with total ease, limits have to exist. But it is true that there is a lot of exclusion and isolation that happens, which is something we do have control over

maybe not, it depends on context. little girl is just also an overall disrespectful thing to say to discredit someone

why is it impractical? why do the limits have to exclude fat people? what if the “limits” were just for fat people and excluded all thin people? you’d be upset at that so why is it different. it’s only impractical because we made it that way. it’s a literal construct, it can change

also notice how clothes that are xxs-m tend to be the same price, despite using more fabric. that’s odd

This was cuz I was taking orders outside and this woman was screaming at my coworkers saying how a ma should be out there and not a little girl. Meanwhile I was chilling with my 2 layers of clothes underneath and sweater and jacket
