Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong

This is a great, intersectional article with clear examples of the fat empathy gap.

Also interesting is how commenters almost immediately call the article “skinny shaming.” The mentality that empowering marginalized people by giving them a voice (and, in the case of this article, control over how they want to appear in the accompanying photographs) is somehow “shaming” the people who don’t live those experiences is a special – and way too common – kind of toxic.
