@TessaViolet I learned this the hard way. Dated an Aussie who lived in Canada for 8+ years and one night said he’d get me a milkshake…and brought me milk with milo…greatest disappointment
@tarastuckless@iamkatebush You’d think @MemorialU would understand the nuance of words & say “no hot food allowed” or even “no loud food allowed” (chips, apples, etc). Signage & language like this is rooted in anti-fat bias and can exacerbate disordered eating. They need to to better
@glenda_billiot@_SkyCake_@itssamanthaaaa_ Because you keep telling yourself it is. If you put in half as much effort correctly gendering your child as you do defending your misgendering of them you wouldn’t be in this situation. Victimization is not a look that suits you. Own your hurtful shit
@glenda_billiot @BrandonDavidSNP @itssamanthaaaa_ Sounds like a lame excuse. Apologize and do better, stop making lazy excuses for misgendering your child.
@BigHorseshoe @welldonebiscuit@PhuzzieSlippers The questions you should ACTUALLY be asking are: Will their doctors listen? Will their doctors run the proper tests to diagnose them rather than assuming weight is the cause for fat peoples ailments? How about you confront the anti-fat bias you’re clutching onto
@aLyssaThaDon BECAUSE FAT IS NOT A FUCKING FEELING!!!! How dense are you!?!
You’re feeling insecure about your body doesn’t mean your fat, so stop hating on fat people and using anti-fat language
@marrithetiger@LOUIEFATTONS It’s not something a lot of people realize because hatred of fatness is far too common and accepted in everyday language and discourse.
Maintenance phase is an excellent podcast to listen to because it showcases the prevalence of anti-fat bias
@marrithetiger@LOUIEFATTONS Fat isn’t a feeling, plain and simple.
She feels insecure in her body and that’s a huge fucking difference.
Equating fatness with feeling insecure is harmful, and perpetuates anti-fat bias.
It’s harmful to fat people and exhausting
@FlNEASSDOM Fat isn’t a feeling. How many times does this need to be said?
Using anti-fat language like that is ducking exhausting and harmful for fat people
