When we talk about fatphobia, many seem to think the issue is that fatphobia makes fat people feel insecure.
No. The issue is fatphobia is a system of oppression that works to marginalize & eradicate fat people. It literally KILLS US.

One of the most frustrating parts of ADHD/executive dysfunction is that if I have ANYTHING I have to do that day, like go to an appt, I can't do anything before it.
It doesn't matter if it's at 4PM & it's 9AM now.
