Fat comrades, I have a question to ask: I have so far left up the fatphobic comments because I thought that it might be useful for uninformed people to see these arguments get debunked and to see exactly what our counterarguments are addressing. However I also realize that this is much more distressing for you all than it is for me and I recognize I have thin privilege here. Please let me know if you believe we should take the comments down and if you have ideas for any other mod actions you think we should take to combat the pervasive anti-fatness issue on hexbear.

I’m going to drop some studies here that seriously cast doubt on the idea that there is a causational link between weight loss and health.

Also Health at Every Size is challenging the weight loss paradigm within healthcare:

Fatphobia in the healthcare system is MAJORLY behind the poorer health outcomes of fat patients.

Carnists will shove animal products in our faces and then say we're the annoying ones.

4b is radical feminism and based on bioessentialism. The movement is explicitly trans-exclusionary and transmisogynistic. The Cut article literally says as such.

I haven’t witnessed this at all, that’s interesting.

Recently I’ve seen a lot more organizing around mutual aid fundraisers from Palestinians trying to evacuate their families from Gaza. I think supporting these fundraisers by donating and also setting up fundraising events for them is one way to directly help people in Gaza right now. There are also charities to support like PCRF.
