When I originally made it, I very intentionally used the term “fatphobe” because I wanted it to be clear that we were about liberating fat bodies first and foremost, and sizism is often taken to mean all shapes and sizes, but fat bodies are most marginalised and gaaah I hope someone makes sense of this post for me.
I have been thinking about this since I first scrolled past your post a little while ago. It’s hard. Because I have experienced people who fear my body, and they fear their bodies turning in to my body. It hurts me, but it also hurts them. I was trying to think of a new name that respected phobias while centering the disenfranchisement, poor treatment and demonisation of fat bodies but I kept going round in circles.
I actually thought STFU Diet Culture… but that refers to system where shitty treatment of fat people is a symptom. My brain is wobbling right now. I don’t know if any of this contributes to the discussion but please consider this thinking out loud.
