Thin people can never do enough to earn the forgiveness of FAs, because they don’t WANT to forgive. They want to be fucking different people than what they are now, but that’s too hard and they’re not and they hate it and they’re angry and they want to be angry at someone other than themselves. So if every thin person on the planet tomorrow declared fat people right and rid the universe of all diet products and fired all the fashion models and widened all the airplane seats and took all the calorie counts off pub menus and never said another single thing about weight ever again it would still not be enough for FAs. They’d just turn around and begin vilifying everyone who fits into clothes 2X- 5X as “the real enemy.”This therapist spends the entire rest of the article practically grovelling to be forgiven for the fatphobia she still struggles with, and is totally in line with FA/HAES/anti-diet ideology. She admits her fatphobic guilt right up front--the way white people are all supposed to admit their racism, these days--and then goes on and on about her determination to Do Better.
But it hardly matters; no matter what subset of the cult of Woke, the total lack of forgiveness and redemption is the same.
I do think the way ordinary fat people are treated is bad and could be much better. But I have no sympathy for the kind of people who literally post about demanding their friends hide their bathroom scale when the FA visits for a party so as not to “trigger” her.
They don’t like themselves and they’re going to project it onto others.
