Thin privilege is getting to have medical imaging
I responded and noticed they took down all the responses where I told them I had lipedema. The place is censorship city among the fat bigots. They are right about the grammar in the article being off. I'll admit it. I had just started the blog and was more rusty back then.
These are not just your run of the mill fat bigots or pissed off anorexic types, but these are people who really HATE fat people. All fat people are "ham-beasts" or "hams"! These are the types who would cheer for fat people to be exterminated tomorrow. I found them to be rather pedestrian, mainstream, brainwashed thinkers. One even sneered at those who questioned 9-11. This is the type who would have their eyes glaze over if you brought up Building 7. They probably believe Obama really cares about America.
So of course they believe the mainstream about obesity that their corporate masters have handed them. "Every "fatty" overeats!" "You are all pigs!", "You disgust us!".
I noticed when I got one in conversation, they deleted my comments immediately. When the deletion process is that immediate, it says something.
What are they so afraid of?
They sure judge people for eating. This includes EATING ANYTHING if they are fat. Of course any fat person who relays average eating or caloric suppression is deemed a liar.
One scary thing is that DOCTORS hang out at this place relaying their hatred of fat patients and how much trouble they are. If fat, would you want this guy as your doctor?
Here too, they deleted my comments. This is what I posted. Double click to enlarge.
I do agree with them about some of the denial in the size acceptance movement as posted on this blog. They are only the other side of the coin warned about on this blog. As I have written before, extreme facets of size acceptance play into the hands of the fat bigots and diet mongers. Fat Logic on reddit proves my case. Fat Deniers and Fat Haters are all propping up the same rotten system when it comes to obesity in America!
Afraid of the truth? I think so.
Here is a warning, the place is absolutely disgusting. One thing that is interesting to me is how they manage to serve as an instrument in silencing the fat about their true experiences 1984 style. Basically their attitude is, because someone is fat, nothing they have to say has value. Why should anyone give smug rude thin people the floor? They must have serious psychological problems in that they feel the need to focus on the fat with such vitriol. The diet industry probably loves this place, "Don't listen to those fatties who tell you diets don't work!". They are what Stalin called "useful idiots".
It's all fun and games until it happens to them. Then they become conspicuously silent about it.
ReplyDeleteMany of them seem to be young and a great percentage of them due to health problems, growing older, decline of America [unless we have a famine, then maybe the fat people will have the last laugh], and they will go silent and maybe remember their activities bashing fat people online.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting, the MDs think everything is a one size fits all. Our youngest son was plagued with ear infections for almost 7 years, multiple ear tube operations until we finally demanded to see an allergist and immunologist, that immunologist got to the root of matter, and it turned out to be a vaccine failure, not allergies! One shot for our little guy has made the difference and has changed his life and ours.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear this. I think the medical schools are failing. One thing about this board is how ARROGANT all the medical professionals were, I could see there being misdiagnosed patients all over the place due to the narcissistic and elitist attitudes I saw. They censored my comments about having medical issues and ran scared. They don't want someone there questioning their nonsense about fat. The country is getting fatter and they can continue with their "fat pigs" talk as we all get sicker. I don't have much patience with the willfully stupid so wont be returning there. I am not surprised your son went through so much. I tell patients and parents do your own reading, research and more, today you NEED TO. I am glad you found a good immunologist for your son.
DeleteThe doctor you linked to is EXACTLY the type I would want if I were an obese patient about to undergo surgery. Anesthesia is the most dangerous part of any surgery, and this guy knows his stuff. I don't pick up on hatred in his remarks. He is compassionate and realistic.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks. Is someone going to fight for my life that hard if they see me as a "ham-beast"? He belies his profession even hanging out with those haters. He may know his stuff but his very presence there tells me he is not the most compassionate. I also noticed he seemed to know nothing about lipedema or rare fat disorders. I don't expect every doctor to know every rare disease but his hateful attitude towards the fat, I dare say could affect his work. I wouldn't want a doctor who sees me as a "ham" doing ANY work on me. Remember I am someone who almost lost their life multiple times due to fat bias in the medical profession. I am diagnosed with a form of cardiomyopathy that comes from undiagnosed hypothyroidism--a decent doctor informed of that. I don't have much patience with the brainwashed fat haters.
ReplyDeleteI do not suffer fools lightly either, maybe it is because of all the narcissist junk we had to put up with previously. It truly is a shame the MDs think that all the medical problems can be solved with exercise, eating right and just listening to them. People do not have the time anymore because they are just simply trying to survive
ReplyDeleteI won't be returning to that idiot factory and I pray to God, that those are not real doctors and nurses posting because earlier in life fat-hating medical professionals almost led me directly to my death. Telling those idiots I lost almost 200 down from 700 FROM MEDICAL TREATMENT was of no avail. They are so brainwashed with the DIET AND EXERCISE formula is was sickening. Yeah people are probably checking out. They are just trying to survive. I feel like USA society is just avoiding being crushed most of the time. I remember in the 70s life seemed easier and freer.
DeleteSo, so off topic, but do you have a tumblr? I've spent the past hour or so reading and commenting on your blog, and you seem like the kind of person I'd want to follow on there.
ReplyDeleteI had an eating disorder therapist (rather big woman) who was supposed tobe all body positive tell me I looked like a flat-chested little boy. It happens on both ends of the spectrum. Sadly, even medical professionals have their own biases.
ReplyDeleteSorry you were abused for being too thin and having a flat chest. I am flat chested from PCOS and have gotten those comments too. I think we are all too judged on our bodies nowadays, as if we all pre-ordered them out of the catalogue!
