I used to frequent “Fatlogic” on Reddit, the sub devoted to basically shitting on fat people. They pretend they care about health, but it’s an excuse to elevate themselves over other people by any means necessary. With each post I clicked on (and this was over MONTHS) I slowly realized I agreed with the original message, the one we were supposed to mock. The ideas of the FA movement were introduced to me via this channel of hatred and bigotry. I have spent a lot of time on your blog and others like it trying to learn more about FA. I have stopped hating my body and focused on loving it– feeding it what it needs, exercising because it feels good, not to manipulate my body shape.

It takes a lot to get out of the haze society puts you in. But if someone like me can, eventually everyone will. Those people on Reddit or wherever are pathetic. They are sexist, racist, bigoted assholes. But they will become the minority. Thank you so so so so much for your work.
