Fatphobia is when people believe that fat people aren't deserving of basic human decency. If you think that's okay, then I don't think you are a decent person.

This is me. I am dangerously overweight and several of my organs don't work properly as a result of this. I would like to be treated with basic human decency but I can't support people claiming this is healthy. It helps me when people are encouraging & congratulate my weight losspic.twitter.com/59sc7GldbE

Health & weight are two different things. If you are unhealthy and specific actions that also may lead to weight loss are suggested, go for them. The whole fat love is in response to society treating fat people like trash. Shaming people for their weight only harms, not helps.

They are different but connected. I have several conditions caused by obesity. PCOS, pre-diabetes, painful knees, GERD, repeated UTIs. Obesity is one of the greatest causes of premature death & I have been warned that I am at high risk. Also very uncomfortable and limiting.

Promoting active wear that fits and supports fat people, making activities more accessible to fat and poor people, and promoting fat people being seen so that they can do the things to get themselves healthier

This isn't something we disagree on. No-one is criticising people who do this except fat activists who say it is judgemental and fake concern for health which is really fatshaming.
