there is no connection. fat people wanting to be treated like human beings and trying to improve their health has no parallel whatsoever in men wanting to be treated not LIKE HUMAN BEINGS but specifically like women and for taxpayers to pay for the further destruction of their healthy bodies.

the posts on the old GC subreddit about this were equally bigoted and idiotic. just admit that you want there to be at least one socially acceptable group to punch down on and give it a rest.

i'm a former model and fat due to a hormonal disorder that affects exclusively women (made worse by rape PTSD which is one of the main causes of weight gain in women) and i've been a lifelong serious/competitive athlete at a level most women can't even imagine. the idea that fat women have 'never played sports' is stupid enough without the addition of your attempt to stigmatize fat women getting active and STARTING TO PLAY SPORTS which is what HAES promotes.
