It is so, so fascinating to me how GLP-1s are colliding with something that, for lack of a better term, I'll call 'fat identity'. It's one thing to argue that fat people shouldn't be discriminated against. But a lot of fat people seem to have constructed an entire identity out of being fat. They took the moralizing lectures they faced from others and turned it around into moralizing about bigotry, with a new label of fatphobia. It's treated similarly to gender or race bigotry. And while there are surely a lot of people being jerks to the obese, a lot of fatphobia sure looks like "my doctor told me I should lose weight" from the outside. People seem to have forgotten that while nobody should be a jerk to fat people for no reason, being fat is in fact a medical issue. It is, in an objective sense, a problem to be fixed. Now we have a drug that (erasing some nuance) just solves the problem. And there are instances of fat-identity influencers basically shamed by their communities/fans for losing weight. People lose the weight but still somehow cling to the idea that parts of the process were fatphobic. It feels like watching identity deconstruction in real time. It makes me wonder - are there similar cultural recriminations for deaf people who get cochlear implants? If we developed a pill to cure blindness, would some blind people still cling to blind identity, or call a doctor bigoted for suggesting the pill?

does anyone remember the brief weird moment in the body positivity movement around 2010 where marilyn monroe was held up as an example of how you can still be fuckable if you gain weight??? ..the 00s thinness epidemic was so insane, you really had to be there
