fat shame

fatuosity:

The various forms of discrimination that fat people experience, in schools, at doctor’s offices, in the job market, in housing, and in their social lives, means that, effectively, their life chances - for a good education, for fair and excellent health care, for job promotion and security, for pleasant housing, for friends, lovers, and life partners…in other words, for a good and safe life - are effectively reduced.
