For smaller fats who say they are being “dismissed” from the fat acceptance community: I have a sneaking suspicion a lot of these fats equate their experiences with being 300 or 400 lbs. and they aren’t exactly in touch with differing levels of smaller fat privilege(just as a few examples) I also think some may be equating hurt feelings with systemic discrimination such as being denied a job and healthcare based on being very fat. There is a part of me that feels like: are you saying you are gonna stop blogging because a 300 lb. woman left a not very nice message for you? Like, I’m seriously confused about what this “dismissal” is supposed to mean. There is no super size queen or king, or any type of royalty for that matter, lording over all of fat acceptance. Seriously, there are plenty of size 10s, 12s 14s that prolly relate to you, and y’all can blog together and be supportive and leave other super nice comments, I mean, what is the problem here? Because a size 24 or a size 32 could not or can not relate to your level of privilege doesn’t mean you are “kicked out.” I’m seriously missing something here.

You smaller fat, don’t need my size 24 approval. I mean for real.
