Issues
</p>
<p class="word__breakdown">Fatphobia is the racialized, classist, and ableist tool of oppression that codifies an &ldquo;ideal&rdquo; body type that centers a white, Western aesthetic ideal, demands time and resources that people may not have, and attempts to correlate thinness and heathliness&mdash;perpetuating white supremact violence against racialized people, classist oppression of people living with limited resources, and the ableist idea of healthiness as an indicator of human value.</p>

Impact
</p>
<p class="word__breakdown">
Medical professionals hold fatphobic biases and often prescribe weight loss instead of listening to their fat patients' concerns. That history of being ignored and shamed keeps many fat people from visiting medical professionals even if they have the means.<br><br>
Employeers hold fatphobic biases and percieve their fat employees as lazy, less intelligent, and unmotivated, therby paying fat employees less than their thin co-workers and offering them no protection from weight stigma in the workplace.<br><br>
Law enforcement officers hold fatphobic biases and think of fat people as unattractive, not sexually active, or undesirable, and making them less likely to believe fat people reporting sexual assaults.
