Fatphobia is the single most toxic form of bigotry after racism, sexism, and discrimination against neurodivergent BIPOC trans sex workers with HIV. While fatphobes come in all shapes, sizes, and colors fatphobia is most commonly observed in Toxically Masculine, Patriarchal, White, Cishet, Assigned Male at Birth (TMPWCHAMAB) individuals–otherwise known as the conservative man.
Fatphobia harms one hundred percent of fat people while fat shaming leads to severe mental and emotional health problems including poor self-esteem, fear of wearing revealing clothing in public, preoccupation with weight loss, and even reluctance to eat high calorie, fattening foods.
Myths about fatness are rampant in American society. The most pervasive myth is that fatness is unhealthy. False. A fat person is not an unhealthy person. While it is true that fatness can lead to serious and sometimes fatal medical conditions, it is important to remember that not all fat people will experience negative medical outcomes as a result of their weight. In fact, some fat folx are in better health than some thin-bodied individuals. It is impossible to say with absolute certainty that an individual is unhealthy simply because they are fat. In the same way that not all unhealthy folx are fat, not all fat folx are unhealthy.
The second greatest myth about fatness is that the obese are unattractive. This is also false because physical attractiveness isn’t real. The concept of physical attractiveness was invented by the patriarchy to oppress cis women, marginalize fat folx, and invalidate the existence of trans women. While sexual orientation based on gender is unchangeable, attraction based on appearance is entirely a social construct.
You’ll often hear bigots say fat folx should go to the gym. But most gyms are fortresses of violence for marginalized individuals. Gyms also have been scientifically proven to be hotbeds of extremism and recruitment facilities for fascism and neo-Nazis. Most so-called health centers are anything but healthful for the elephantine among us.
Traditional gyms and health clubs employ horrific methods to coerce fat folx to give up their true identity and adopt a lifestyle of physical torture and starvation in order to attain the patriarchal ideal of thin-bodiedness. This is a form of conversion therapy and it is very dangerous to the fat community.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Taking a diverse, equitable, and inclusive approach to the wellness industry, I’m introducing my newest venture: Dr. Ann Lesby, PhD’s Flabulous Fitness. I am working with a team of experts and health gurus to start a revolutionary new fitness experience which not only accepts fat folx, but encourages them to be their true selves.
At Flabulous Fitness, words matter. The term “workout” has negative, fatphobic connotations which can be triggering to fat folx who have been psychologically harmed by images of skinny aerobics instructors and unrealistically attractive body coaches. That’s why at Flabulous Fitness, we don’t work out, we Work It! Our unique programs focus on moving in ways that make you feel good about your body, whether that means dancing to original music by ShaKee Bunz (Flabulous’s own award-winning BIPOC fitness instructor turned rap artist) or relaxing in the hot tub with an ice cold Strawberry Flabarita.
In this world of racial oppression and injustice, Flabulous Fitness’s Equity Program ensures equal outcomes for all participants. We encourage BIPOC fat folx to bring their thinnest white friends. If your white friend isn’t 30 pounds heavier in six months, we’ll refund the entire last month’s fees.
Learning to embrace fatness in a racist, white supremacist, patriarchal country can be difficult, but Dr. Ann Lesby, PhD’s Flabulous Fitness is here to change the way Americans look at fatness. My programs are not free; as a multi-intersectionally oppressed woman of color, I do not owe anyone anything. But I am a generous individual and offering readers an exclusive sneak peak at our summer course along with free tips on beginning your body positive journey.
The first step of Dr. Ann Lesby, PhD’s Flabulous Fitness Detox is to remove tags from your clothing, discard your bathroom scale, and cover nutrition labels on your food. It is time to stop thinking about numbers and start focusing on making your inner self glow.
Step two: Remove anything from your home which makes you feel shame about your body. This may include fitness magazines, mirrors, healthy recipe cookbooks, or even art depicting thin-bodied people. Be merciless. If your significant other fat shames you or encourages you to “be healthier,” separation is a must. Do not reconcile until they are ready to do the work of a fat advocate.
Step three: Dispose of all food items in your refrigerator and pantry that were purchased for health reasons. If you do not love it, pitch it. There is no such thing as “unhealthy” food as long as it is vegan, fair trade, and purchased from the race of the food’s origin.
Many of my friends from high school wound up way far over weight. Their deaths were sad to hear about. Water is healthier than Cola drinks. 0 calories versus 120 or more per 12 oz. Serving.
It’s a satire account. Very well done. Also in her bio:

Oh ha dang it she got me. I was like no one is this woke. Ok ok zer sick burn.
It was so clearly stupid and absurd, I assumed it was real.
Don’t give the idiots ideas.
Ha-Ha!
Now, I can’t see that name any other way.
Her name was Lesby-Ann
She was a serious Thes-Pian
WRT the author and instigator of this particular toxic dumpster fire: https://youtu.be/YIlL0T2yTss
Satire. I hope. Then again. Makes perfect sense that fatislamohomotransphobic white cis supremacists just can’t stand the idea of sitting next to fatty on a 15 hour flight to Germany,
I admit to being a Fatist. Poor people that starve are not fat. Fat people that are poor are more fat than poor.
I have gone from 30% BMI, obese, to very physically fit many times. Each time that I get fat it is because I quit exercising and eat a bit too much. For at least 95% of the fatties, myself included at times, it is a lifestyle-induced pathology and making excuses for it does not help anyone. I make no apologies. In fact my BMI is a still too high, roughly 20%, but it is falling since I bailed on my IT career.

Good advice....so is her article on “How to raise an antiracist fetus”
https://getoutspoken.com/humor/how-to-raise-an-antiracist-fetus
Looks like it boils down to 5 key things......”some things you should begin to do:
Recite antiracist meditations on a daily basis, increasing to twice daily during the second trimester and thrice daily in the third.
Attend BLM and LGBTQIIAAPKS2+ rallies.
Speak up when witnessing a micro aggression, such as a white person asking a POC to repeat themselves because the white person hasn’t bothered to become fluent in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE).
Uplift voices of Black trans sex workers by patronizing them, recommending their services, or subscribing to their OnlyFans.
Be ready to give up a job offer or promotion if doing so creates opportunity for a Person of More Complex Intersectional Oppression (PMCIO).””
