"Have you tried *not* being (fat, darker skinned, autistic, etc)?"
It never works. Because the problem is discrimination and judgement. The fill-in-the-blank condition is just the excuse.
On an unrelated note, podcasts or recordings would be nice. Especially for people who would rather listen or have a hard time reading the posts or whatever. More ways to access your content is great.
O**sity organizations also recruit people of size as their liasson/ambassadors and use their lived experience/voice for their own agenda. I have seen situations when healthcare providers speak up about weight loss drug or surgery, healthcare providers get labelled as "seeing things from a thin privilege" with lack of understanding of what it's like to be fat. It's very twisted.....words get twisted and weaponized.

Yes podcasts please!
Thank you for your work!
Yes, podcasts please! I would love to be able to listen to these posts as a podcast. I do a lot of driving and would love to have these to listen to.
Thanks!
