Urgh. I don't know a single person on this forum or in real life that I would classify as "sizeist." "Sizeist" to me means judging someone unfairly based on their weight. Unfairly being the key word. So if I said "Beth Ditto is not going to win that race because she's fat," that would not be sizeist. It's pretty obvious that in most situations, if an obese woman and a woman of average size were racing, the thinner one would win. It is sizeist to say "Look how fat she is, she must be such a bitch," but I haven't heard a single person say anything along those lines. And I also haven't heard anyone say that it's "not ok" for people to find fat people attractive, just that they themselves don't find fat people attractive. You can't say that it is sizeist to find fat people unattractive. Honestly, I don't think it's your beliefs that annoy people, I think it's you. |

Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead is my own personal muse. She has everything...musical talent, intelligence, exquisite beauty and an elegant sense of style.
