    Ha! I wrote a short (for me) thing about 'fatphobia' after a particularly annoying encounter with an activist.https://conatusnews.com/dangerous-problem-fatshaming-fatphobia/ …

        Helen, this is an excellent piece—the type of resource I sought, in vain, when I was a personal trainer. Nicely done 👏

        The inclusion of your personal experience with the issue makes your article interesting to read.

        :) I try to do that when I can. People find personal anecdote relatable.

        yep. Currently sitting at +119 on r/FatLogic - a subreddit that specialises in calling out the fallacies of fat activists.

        The brevity works. There's a place for longer articles but this one deserves to be read far and wide, incl. those with short attention spans

        You talked to some messed up people. Being obese is bad for you, proven, but being abusive won't cure it. Great article
