Very. Different people have different bodies.

Even if the premise were undebatably true that being fat is an avoidable consequence by eating all of the “right” things in exactly the “right” quantities, which greatly oversimplifies the immense complexity of how bodies function, the target of intolerance should be:

• The companies that pump out garbage masquerading as food
• The regulatory environment that allows those companies to do so
• The systems which deprive people of the time, finances and ability to access adequate nutrition or medical support

By buying into anti-fat-acceptance, you:

• Place the entire burden of systemic issues on individuals who don’t have the power to fix them, and who have their own unique circumstances
• Go to bat for exploitative companies
• Enable damaging ableist tropes about superficial aesthetic ideals

I hope that helps!

No problem! The extra fun part is that ch can also be the abbreviation for child, although the spacing and context obviously settles that ambiguity. So, you could maybe read this as “do not toutchild” if you wanted to be silly.

It’s valid contracted Braille. The last two characters are out/ou and ch.

Trauma responses are hard. I think it’s great you’re actively working on it and are conscious of your own biases, that’s huge. Good luck!
