(12 posts)I can't believe fat shaming is still acceptable to this community. It is so wrong and is no different than racism, sexism and homophobia.
This is what Trump does, this is how he gets his power, shaming and humiliating people. Fat Shaming is one of the many tools of the oppressor.
Vax-Shaming seems to be acceptable here as well and it leaves me feeling attacked just because I have health issues for which I must pause and consider before choosing to get vaccinated and risk an adverse reaction. So many others are in this same boat. But we don't have a voice hear on this community. Many assume we are MAGA people. I am most certainly not. I am a woman of color, feminist, and an ally to the LBGTQ community and a daughter of a woman with disabilities. I advocate for myself and for others - all the time. I feel abandoned by Democrats right now. I never thought I would ever be here.
