[quote=Anonymous][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]

I think you piled up everything together. A lot of people still don't accept a lot of that you listed above. And those people still judge homosexuality, kids out of wedlock, etc.

Alcohol in moderation is not a big deal, but if you an addict, everyone would see it. you cannot hide your appearance and behavior if you are an addict. It is shows off. Same is with the food addiction, people know when you have unhealthy habits of eating too much. [/quote]
