For the latest AskAFatGirl, cz77 on why fat isn't a bad word:
as a neutral descriptor for themselves — and the reclaiming doesn’t stop at just the one word. Some fat people choose to identify with more specific terms like “small fat” or “super fat.” These two in particular are most often used to indicate where a person falls on the spectrum of fat privilege. For example, a small fat is far less likely to experience weight discrimination at the doctor’s office, whereas a super fat might be outright refused medical treatment due to their size.
It’s worth asking yourself exactly why the word fat makes you so uncomfortable. If you’re not fat yourself, is it that you fear the stigma and discrimination that come along with being fat? Are you worried about losing the inherent privilege that comes along with thinness? Ultimately, it’s not fat people’s job to take on the emotional labor of working on your anti-fat biases — that takes time, energy, and a lot of questioning your own experiences and privilege.
If you yourself live in a large body, it’s totally up to you on how you want to describe yourself. If “curvy” feels good, great! If “chubby” is your thing, woo hoo! Full figured, plump, fluffy, et al. are all valid, as long as they feel right for you. No matter what size of body you inhabit, I suggest educating yourself on the history of fat-acceptance and the movement as a whole. It’s particularly important to note that the fat-acceptance movement was created in the ‘60s by women of color, specifically black women, who continue to propel the movement forward today.If your Instagram feed is filled with people who share your same size, race, ability, age, gender identity, and sexual orientation, it’s time to diversify the accounts you follow.
At the end of the day, fat is simply a word. To self-identify as fat can feel difficult, especially with all the stigma and shame society has attached to it. But with some work, it is possible to get to a place where fatjust a word, not a value judgement. And if you’re not fat, denying someone the use of the word is denying their experience and existence.
