i think there are a lot of physical barriers that come with being a bigger person, along with just societal views on it

not every fat person suffers health complications, and they don’t suffer by existing, they suffer by existing in a bigoted society

Of course, but what about societal pressures? Do you believe the way the world treats fat people is suffering?

i think it could be improved upon without glorifying obesity. it’s important to know that people can be fat for many reasons, often outside of their control, including medical issues like pcos/lymphedema/thyroid issues, or mental health reasons like ED/depression/childhood trauma/combination. the goal should be to support fat people, not fatness

a significant portion of fat people have at least some health complication.
