I think what you need is yourself as your ally. I’m not fat, so I obviously don’t go through what you’re going through and all I can do is acknowledge that you have to put up with a lot. Yes, there definitely is stigma from society on fat people, which I believe is often based on the idea that at some point fat people have ‘let themselves go’. I don’t want to get into the depths of societal predjudices and superficialities, because that’s not my major issue with your article.

What I don’t understand is what exactly you want? You ask for allies, for support, for acceptance, for people to try — but in order to be all that and do all that, we have to put you and your troubles above our own?

You’re making your suffering the benchmark for tolerance— is that a fair thing to do when you ask for support and acceptance? Don’t make seemingly smaller problems small problems. That’s not how alliances work.
