“I have to think about packing every item I could possibly need, because the chances of not being able to find something as simple as a swimsuit, raincoat, or boots in my size are high,” she says.”
IOW, the rest of the world is not as ridiculously, insanely fat as some Americans.
“Superfat — sizes 26-32+
Popularized from the 2008 NOLOSE Supersize Caucus, the term was created as a “term of power for the fattest of the fat.” Those in this category consistently face size discrimination such as denial of healthcare, being unable to shop in-store for clothing, the inability to access public spaces, etc.
Infinifat — sizes 34+
A complementary term to superfat, infinifat was coined by Ash of The Fat Lip podcast to describe those whose “size is greater than any assignable size number.” “Too fat for commercially-available clothing,” they are sized out of brick and mortar plus size stores and must order clothing online. In some cases, they may not know their size. In order to fly, they must purchase two seats. They experience acute institutionalized sizeism daily.”
