Fat Shaming DJT Makes You (almost) As Bad As Him

It’s so sad - and so so so hurtful - to see people I consider friends participating in this moment of national fat shaming. I’m not sure why I’m surprised anymore though. Racists, fascists, nazis... aren't that way because of the size of their bodies. Fat is not inherently bad, and fat people are just people, like you. I get that fat shaming is perfectly acceptable in our society, and that it permeates every facet of life, but if you have any fat people in your life, know that your jokes are cutting through them. We already walk through a cold, uncaring, and cruel world where our bodies are mocked, pathologized, demonized, and rejected literally every minute of every day. You, our friends, our family, the people we love, are supposed to be a safe space, a place where we can feel normal, not like outcasts, not like undateable grotesque monsters, like... we matter.
