Question:
Is there an existing organization, place, or group where fat people and those who support them can unite to improve the lives of fat people?
I envision a place where fat people are encouraged to live their best possible lives where and who they are now.
I envision a place where all fat people and all people who support the rights of fat people are welcome.
I think one of the main issues that divide the fat community is the issue of weight loss. Therefore, I envision a place that is free from any weight loss dialogue. There are already places where the pros and cons of this issue are discussed.
For example, I currently have 1500 followers on Pinterest. The vast majority of my Pinterest boards are related to (what I perceive to be positive) images of fat art. I love Pinterest. I love all the wonderful images I find there. I love all the size acceptance I see there. But I’m looking for something more.
I am asking that you share your thoughts on this, and provide me with any information on resources that are currently available.
Thank you.
