the concept of fatphobia isn’t “skinny people have never ever been shamed or insecure about their bodies ever” but rather “society literally doesn’t want fat people to exist at any cost to the point healthcare systems are willing to let fat people die rather than address any other possible medical issue, in addition to facing insults and disgust at every turn socially”. online the fact u can’t make a body positive or even neutral post without somebody going “but what about us naturally skinny and petite people” is so fucked man
A lot of people don’t realize that fatphobia goes beyond just the concept of body shaming. Yes, you may get made fun of or bullied for being skinny, and yes, that sucks, and it shouldn’t happen.
But you’ll never lose job opportunities for it. You’ll never have your access to basic healthcare revoked for it. You’ll never be told to move places on a plane for it, or have furniture and fairground rides and seatbelts designed to exclude you. You’ll never face only being represented in the vast majority of any kind of media as stupid, lazy, greedy, evil, or gross. You’ll never have to worry about clothing stores not carrying your size. You’ll never hear dozens of people all around you every day talk about their plans to try to avoid looking like you. You don’t have to fear eating in public. You don’t have an entire multibillion dollar industry built on trying to get rid of you and calling your existence a “crisis”.
MAYBE you might put up with the same issue of people thinking they know your health and lifestyle better than you do and that they’re qualified to tell you how to “fix” it, and that sucks. I’m sorry that happens. But you don’t risk ruining your relationships with your family, coworkers, friends, etc. every time you bring up the way that this widespread, extremely dangerous form of bigotry that kills people on a regular basis [in all its other forms as listed above] is impacting you, because they think it’s an exaggerated or made up problem, and refuse to listen to your point of view no matter how many sources you give them to back it up. You don’t have to face the fact that they already deemed you illogical and irrational from before the moment you even opened your mouth, solely because of your body type. You aren’t viewed as a symptom of a nationwide “epidemic” based on stereotypes and shitty widespread pseudoscience that should have died out over a century ago. You’re still treated like a person.
It’s ok to be frustrated if people are kind of rude sometimes about you being skinny, but PLEASE keep it out of spaces meant for fat activism and positivity. Listen to us when we ask you not to derail posts about fatphobia and understand that it’s not just bullying, it’s a systemic form of bigotry and targeted oppression that you as a skinny person do not experience.
It’s not about you. That’s ok. Not everything is or will be. Please just try to listen and educate yourself about our issues when you interact with our posts instead of trying to redirect them onto yourself. That’s all we’re asking.

I’m sorry I’m going fucking insane over trans people in sports issues the anti trans crowd has lost the fucking plot and then has the audacity to act like its the trannies who are ridiculous
I used to be of the “well the sports issue isn’t really important to me its w/e I just don’t want it to be a gateway into other transphobia” but oh my fucking god we are so far gone. The fencing shit is sending me over the edge. What the fuck.
I can’t even articulate my words so I’m just going to tell a story in screenshots
I am so fucking tired of being gaslit about this
The person who kneeled saying that this will destroy her life, my God. You tried to destroy the trans lady’s life with your stupid stunt. If you didn’t want your life to be ruined, you should have just played swords.
“this will destroy my life” immediatly wins $5000
I’m so fucking done
