fat phobia

So this new line by Forever 21 goes up to “3X” which they’ve defined as a size 18. Forever 21 may be better than some in terms of carrying larger sizes, and they may want to “celebrate fashion for all sizes,” but let’s be clear that they aren’t even close to creating fashion for all sizes.

We could risk the mental and physical health of all the girls in the school by using fat shaming to try to control the way that they dress, or we could just let them wear some damn leggings. Seriously, how is this not a no brainer?

I am a "bad fatty" because I choose to live my best life and I don't think that means suffering through an existence without joy

These plus-size crop top babes refuse to be held back by fatphobic remarks.

When “down girl” becomes “woke woman,” she needs a squad. And when she’s fat, she needs a fat squad.

The first time I heard about the #DropThePlus campaign I was of two minds.

Some of our happiest moments are those when we think that no one is watching: when we sing at the top of our lungs in our cars, or we dance down the frozen-food aisle of the supermarket allowing ourselves the freedom to let our inner child out. However, when you’re fat and the fat person’s representative, you don’t get any of those times of abandon because you’re always trying to lead by example and show that you’re the perfect fat person.
