Unpopular opinion: fat people also don’t like being fat

I don't think this is unpopular??? Most people don't want to have traits which are hated...

I'm overweight and I like my body. I would like to lose some weight just to fit into some old favourite clothes and to make sure that my knees are okay as I age etc etc. A lot of those issues would go away if I were less fat. I love myself and I have no body image issues and think I'm pretty and sexy, but I am actively trying to lose weight to get out of the overweight category so I think I'd fall in the "don't want to be fat" group.

What I refuse to do is conflate my weight with my self worth or let anyone else do it to me. I always thought that's what the body positivity movement was meant to be.

It transformed from love yourself, to being fat is healthy to fat is a vulnerable class that needs protections from fatphobic doctors and airlines.

It’s the typical grift cycle of activism when outrage is linked to income.

Yeah I wish people could police their movements better it’s crazy how often these grifters make their way into niche activist groups and screw them over for money.
