The thing is that it is an actual disorder and you can easily tell people who actually have it against those who dont. When you see that girl throwing such a temper tantrum over ice cream, it goes beyond what a normal kid's temper tantrum would be. Normal people still feel shame or embarrassment, even a tumblrina wouldnt lash out the way that kid does over ice cream. The thing about FA and body acceptance is that it is predominately rooted in shame.

It is an actual mental/developmental disorder and it's kind of like saying people would diagnose themselves with down syndrome as an excuse. I mean people do, with things like aspberger's, but I think those people have something wrong with them anyway, like they might fall on the scale somewhere, but not tick every box -- I have a lot of feelings about stuff like this, it's quite strange. Humanity is weird.
