We strongly recommend you stop using this browser until this problem is corrected. The latest version of the Opera browser sends multiple invalid requests to our servers for every page you visit.The most common causes of this issue are: Why? Well, it could go back to our assumption that “thin = good, therefore fat = bad.” It could be because of the assumption of laziness and deviance, or it could be simply because our bodies are non-compliant with white, cis Western beauty standards.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Studies have found that male jurors punish fat women defendants with assumptions of guilt.
This becomes especially problematic for Black women, who are particularly likely to be stereotyped and fetishized for their weight.įat women are more likely to be found guilty by a predominantly male juries. This is a big one.
Again, we can see a similarity to the trans experience, where trans sexuality is seen as abnormal or highly fetishized (with little in between). It isn’t just avoidance of touch, disrespect, and street harassment or abuse, but open stares of disgust. Fat women are found disgusting and abnormal by some, and by others, they are fetishized. Again, we can see this is something that trans people who don’t “read” as cis go through. At the intersection of being fat and trans, sometimes transition is held hostage to weight loss despite the devastating mental effects that can have.įat women are shunned socially. This is something fat people have to experience a lot, up to and including misdiagnoses, refusal to provide prescriptions, and even ignored cancers. The brilliant (on Twitter) described it as Trans Flu when your doctor blames any and all medical problems on your transness. In some ways, this can be similar to what trans people go through. Groovy.įat women get worse medical treatment. Just wanted to make that clear before we go any further. Though fat people do experience violence (and fat trans people may be more likely to experience violence), it is in no way comparable to the suicide rate and assault rate that transgender people face. This comparison, however, is not to suggest that these are equally violent forms of oppression. I use the transgender experience, being gender non-binary myself, to compare and describe the experience of being fat.
