The fat acceptance movement is a great thing. Shame and guilt for being fat accomplishes nothing and is linked with worse health outcomes, because fat people who feel shame often *avoid* exercise and healthier food because they've been made to feel unworthy.

Ha. The Fat Acceptance movement is a clownshow of unfounded beliefs not supported by any science or reality that mostly harms the people it purports to help and really harms kids a whole hell of a lot. It was better when it was the body positivity movement, but when they transitioned from that it became about how weighing 400 pounds was completely healthy, that “intuitive eating” that caused you to weigh that aforementioned 400 pounds was just fine, and that anyone who is slim and fit is somehow harming you.

I reject all of that. Fat Acceptance is what happens when you accept you live in hell. No thank you.
