This Psychology Today piece by Dr Pirkko Markula on the #BodyPositive mov’t is a good introduction to the research & reality of #Fatmisia/#Fatphobia & references interesting research. She discusses the way that the mov’t has been coopted by straight-sized people to promote exercise as body modification & self-esteem for only a limited body type.

I think you should all follow Bryan.
I'm still hoping to find more people posting on this on mastodon.

This is the kind of shit that makes fatmisia so rampant in our society. Look at the headline...then read what they bury in the last 3/4 of the article.

"The FAA calculated that people are stuffing more in their carry-on bags — which are not weighed in the United States — thus increasing the overall heft of the cargo. Seasonal items, such as winter coats, are also considered during the colder months."
