Description

"I support the radically simple idea that people should not be discriminated against, made fun of, restricted, or oppressed because of the size and shape of their bodies. Moreover, I believe that everyone has a right to dignity, respect, and self-love, and that jokes that denigrate fat people are just as offensive as those that denigrate women or ethnic groups."

"Fat is the last great acceptable prejudice. Well, no more, not for me nor any of mine. I do not want to hear about your latest weight-loss scheme; I will not make self-deprecating jokes about my size, nor tolerate them being played out in my presence; I will not live on salad forever as penance for my shape; you should NOT assume I would rather be thin and am "just fooling myself", nor should you assume that I consume large quantities of junk food and never exercise (you'd be wrong in all three cases); I will challenge the assumption that fat people are stupid, clumsy, lacking in personal hygeine, and bad in bed (you'd REALLY be wrong there); and you definitely better make sure I get equal access to everything life has to offer, or there will be hell to pay."

For those who witness it, please, speak out against hate and discrimination.
For those who dish it, please, rethink your patronizing attitudes and your thinly veiled contempt. Human beings are not your doormat. They are not deserving of your hate, disgust, or abuse. If you don't like the way a person looks (too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too white, too black, too ..whatever) get the fuck over it. Everyone on this planet is not here to be your eye candy.



NOTE: If you're going to make a hateful, disrespectful, or ignorant comment it WILL be hidden and you will be blocked. Take your prejudices and hateful attitudes elsewhere because they are not welcome here. And if you're going to leave idiotic comments about how it's unhealthy to be overweight, save it. I'm sick of morons quoting data put out by the weight loss and pharmaceutical industries that doesn't take into account people's eating habits or activity levels. If you want to be a media driven parrot, do it elsewhere. Even if it is "unhealthy" to be a bigger person (which, in and of it's self, it's NOT) someone else's health is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

True, I mean it's only wrong if it's something like obesity since it can kill you, give you heart/liver disease, can give you an heart attack or can augment risk of blood pressure but being plus sized is not wrong
