yeah but that's not for an actual problem that's just bigotry fatphobia and misogyny
-
I've heard this reported just as much by male friends as female, so this once it's probably "just" fatphobia, but yeah.

(In general of course fatphobia and misogyny overlap and mutually reinforce, that just seems mostly not to be the case here)

ah I was basing it on some trans guys' experiences I've read about, but I'm obviously off here.

body policing has been very prominent in my life as has my weight — I didn't expect to veer off in this direction though.
-
thanks for reminding me of a context I didn't consider. Either way, my chronic illnesses have benefited from exercise.

Yeah, "exercise more" is definitely not bad advice. It just tends to be a bit irritating when doctors try to prescribe it.
