TW: Fatphobia/Fatphobic remarks

I was so fucking pissed in class today. It had been such a good class and right towards the end this person made such a disgusting and hateful and nonsensical remark. They said something like, “I just hate how there’s fat people in this building eating all this junk food when there’s a bunch of treadmills they should be getting on right down the hall…like, CMON”

OMG, I was about to flip the fuck out. And to make it worse, my teacher was like, “Well hey, yeah, thats something to write a poem about!” (it’s a poetry class) and I think he was trying to lighten it, but just even the tolerance of such a fat-phobic remark made my blood boil.

This person isn’t in my group, but if they were then they would have read my poem this week thats all about being/growing up fat. I suddenly felt so uncomfortable in the class. It’s so fucking frustrating. I might say something to my teacher because it was just intolerable.
