[quote=Anonymous]I find it odd though how many things that were previously stigmatized -- having kids out of wedlock, homosexuality, divorce, interracial relationships -- are not judged and being fat is. We've grown so much more tolerant as a society in so many regards. Why is it still okay to fat shame? Yes, gluttony's a sin but technically so is divorce, so is promiscuity, so is abortion, etc. We are much less likely to judge those sorts of issues than we are to judge a fatty. And we're willing to accept that families are different, people are different in terms of their genders and being trans, etc. yet we're not willing to accept different body shapes. I find it hard as a fatty because it's like I have to wear my sins on the outside of my body all the time and be judged. If I was shooting up heroin in the privacy of my home, or if I was an alcoholic, you wouldn't even know. But because you can see that I'm fat, it's open season on the moose lady.[/quote]
