Fuck her and her communist bullshit. I live in freedomland and will dislike who I damn well want.

Calling on the government to declare fatphobia a form of prejudice means they want to legally compel us all, via the government, to like them. Far too many people crave this Orwellian utopia in which everyone is forced to be nice for fear of government persecution or legal punishment, and it's so frustrating - doesn't she realize that if a government gets to dictate other people's values and feelings, they will also be dictating her own...that a loss of their freedom means a loss of hers too?
No thanks. I want the freedom to like someone or dislike someone, and to be the one who decides who and why. Nobody is owed friendship or affection or attraction from anyone; those things are a privilege that you have to work toward earning, and it has to be mutual on the part of the other person. There are people in my life I love dearly who also happen to be fat, to varying degrees. I don't love them because they're fat. I wish they would get in shape because I know how much better they'd feel if they did. I bet this lady has people in her life who love her too. She needs to stop trying to force everyone to pretend to like her so she can feel better about herself, and just focus her energy on her friends and family and on building a good life for herself,and not let the opinions of strangers or childhood bullies drag her down.

Notice how she is going to parliament to talk about fat-phobia. She isn't talking about discrimination against body size in general, just fat-phobia, i.e. she still wants to be able to discriminate against people who are "too thin" and maintain that anorexia is a serious problem, but she wants protection against being called a fatty. As usual, the fat acceptance movement claims to be "intersectional" and supportive of all people, but then their allies get thrown under the bus as soon as an advancement opportunity arises.

Why do these lardbarges always claim to have/have had anorexia? Like clearly we can tell you don't have it now and probably never had it in the first place. Fucking fats.
