Your Weight Takes Nothing From You

There I was struggling to get across exactly why the 'obesity' construct is a fail tern, that's damaged people and needs to be left to those who want it, when here comes this, "What Your Thinness Has Taken From You".

I haven't read it, my point is about the title. It's the exact same premise 'obesity' rests on. Which is, your size/mass/weight is somehow violating you.

This of course makes absolutely no sense, even as a metaphor.

Size, whether weight or mass measures the whole of you.

Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is a measure of how much stuff is in an object. Weight is a force acting on that stuff. Weight is the result of gravity. The Earth's gravity attracts objects towards the centre of the Earth and you feel forces like this as weight.

Size cannot at the same time be a separate abstract entity that's somehow attacking and degrading the quality of you. Exactly as in, "What your thinness takes from you." In case it need be said, neither thinness, slimness, inbetweenieness, nor fatness, takes absolutely duck fall from your essence. End of story.

This sort of mal-ideation tells us mostly about the teller, not the told upon. The former is feeling what they don't like about the subject and attributing it to their weight. If the oddness of this conclusion stands out better when used on the acceptably-weighted, then all this will not be in vain.

The difference between this instance and ob is the latter starts from a mind that can't cope with the reality of, a bigger person, it breaks down at slim and comes to a halt. Preferring to see big(ger) than they as, 'excess' thrown onto slim and somehow corrupting them-because everything is all about them, all the time. Or they die.

Just kidding, but that seems to be how they feel emotionally speaking. The appearance of bigger makes them feel sidelined, erased, so they erase in return.

These fee fees are then parlayed into becoming "disease", to make this seem like the issue is the other person, not they, oh no. This "science", is supposed to spare the blushes and make everyone feel better about it.

The fundamental question at the heart of this, is not so much of the, "Why does everybody hate fatz so much💔😭" kind, it's, what do you do when the well builders are poisoning the well? Who can stop those who usually correct themselves?

The last time I'm aware of a similar sort of thing being tried was when certain pathological homophobes tried to run the study of HIV/IDS into irrelevance so that gay men could just die. They were clocked and sent packing by gay people and allies-which included medical and HCPs by the way, in part because gay people were actually dying. That's the sort of thing that will rile even the most docile.

In the case of fatz, we are lucky, there is no actual disease to kill us. Problem is iatrogenesis, this fiction is being used to actually assault people and their bodies in various ways. Let's not forget, gastric mutilation takes bodies from being able to be fully nourished from food, to not being able to be.

Nor is it clear that their is informed consent or even consent at all, seeing as 'obesity' is a manufactured contrivance, unless they are aware of this, what is a person consenting to but fiction?
