Body shaming, and "My Big Fat Fabulous Life"

[GrandizerII]

But the body acceptance movement totally ignores this. Healthy at any size is a lie. Even if someone is 'Healthy' in the sense they aren't at immediate risk of dying, it doesn't mean they are capable. It's not 'fat shaming' that makes people feel like shit, it's being fat. So ironically I think this movement hurts the obese far more then it helps.

It's not about perception of health. It's about acceptance. Esteem, love, respect, support, kindness, empathy. It's about fighting prejudice against people who happen to be overweight. It's about  less stress and more psychological relief for people who don't fall within the socially acceptable weight range but feel trapped and psychologically unable to get into that range.
