Incredible research. Thank you for doing this. I especially appreciate the look at the authors with "lived experience" because often the expectation is they speak for others (though usually, just like here, they don't!).

Thank you for all this incredible work. It’s hard to read, emotionally, but I appreciate it intellectually. It’s sad how focused people are on the size of our bodies.

Thanks, and I totally get how hard it can be to read. Imagine if they put this kind of energy into actually ending weight stigma!

Totally! This comes in a week when I had an appointment with a new endocrinologist who probably said ob*sity 20 times in an hour and asked me if I want ob*sity medication 😡

Thank you, Ragen. Disheartening for sure. Yet also the fuel we need to keep fighting for equity.
