bigfatscience:fullten:alisso:misscherrylikesitdirty:fullten:I wanted to make I post I could link too whenever someone asks me this~Seriously. Even if I was hella in shape, really healthy, no one would be asking for health or work out tips from me if I was fat. Stop assuming because someone looks like what society deems as ‘healthy’ or ‘fit’ that they are, it’s a lie, they are try to sell you things and make you hate and judge strangers. Stop buying into it. I love this so much, I have no words.THANK you! Cause no one listens when a fat person tries to explain this.I noticed, I’ve seen several fat people make a great posts about this, only to see their inbox being blown up with ‘YOU’RE JUST MAKING EXCUSES!’ it’s disgusting because it has absolutely nothing to do with the persons health and it’s fucked up to hid behind that bullshit faux concern because someone isn’t killing themselves to fit into what is considered ideal to make someone else more comfortable in consuming them as a product rather then treat them as a person. There is a large body of academic literature documenting the (sad) fact that members of privileged groups who speak out about oppression are given more attention, are listened to, and are believed more than the members of the oppressed groups would be, even when those oppressed people speak clearly and eloquently about their experiences!So if you are thin you need to follow fullten’s lead. Do a fat friend a favour and SPEAK UP against fat phobia! Argue back against concern trolling. Use your thin privilege to make a difference in fat folks lives. -- source link
