Fatphobia feels socially acceptable in a way a lot of other things aren't
So I experience ableism, racism, sexism, and anti-queerness. With the resurgence of the R word, I've been thinking more about how little I experience covert ableism, et al. I feel the structural effects of them and do get a wild comment every now and then, but it's not really in my face day in and day out, at least online and in the liberal/moderate cities I've lived in. Like I can remember each time someone's called me a racial slur. But a fat bitch*? Couldn't tell you. The frequency and boldness with which people say fatphobic shit feels really unique. Do people who also live at these intersections feel this way or is just the communities I find myself in?
*I realize this is simultaneously a sexist comment
