“When I started to use the word fat as a self-descriptor, people would actually gasp.”
“When I started to use the word fat as a self-descriptor, people would actually gasp as if I had cursed or said something self-hating. If I said, ‘Iām too fat to do that,’ people would interject and say things like, ‘No you’re not fat, you’re beautiful,’ and I’d be so confused.
Being fat does not mean ugly, or incapable, or undesirable. It is an adjective.” Ā» Diamond Wynn
