Issues

-

It perpetuates the idea that there is a “normal” body type, that there is a direct correlation between thinness and heathliness (which also perpetuates healthiness as an indicator of value), and that fatness is both - abnormal and unhealthy.

+

Fatphobia is the racialized, classist, and ableist concept of an “ideal” body type that centers a white, Western aesthetic ideal and endeavours to form a direct correlation between thinness and heathliness—perpetuating white supremact violence against racialized people, and the ableist idea of healthiness as an indicator of human value.

Impact

-

Fat people have a difficult time accessing medical care, they earn less money, are less likely to be believed when reporting sexual assaults, and have - no protection from weight stigma in the workplace.

+

+ 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.

+ 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.

+ Law enforcement hold fatphobic biases and think of fat people as unattractive, not sexually active, or undesirable, making them less likely to believe fat people reporting sexual assaults. +
