I get a lot of abuse.

From example, from people in cars.

People is just a nice word for men.

It's not to be all like #allmenaretrash,

it's just that it's never women shouting from cars.

It's just never "I like your fringe!"

Or, "Where did you get those glasses? They really suit your face!"

It's like they have this idea that

fat people are so desperate to get laid

that anytime a van blasting loud music through open windows passes,

we're just like, "Oh my god...

maybe that's the one."

Here's a public service announcement on behalf of all fat people.

We don't wanna (boing) you either.

Most of us actually have some err... (fog horn noise) at home.

At the moment it seems as if body positivity is the new thing.

It's all over Instagram.

Thin to maybe chubby

white feminine cis women showing that actually, if they try real hard,

they can look a bit fat too.

Don't get me wrong, society has made it very clear that no-one

fat or thin should be happy with their bodies.

We're all struggling.

But the people who are the most oppressed in society

like actually fat people, black people and people of colour,

queer people, trans people, Muslims, people with disabilities

are not at all represented in the body positivity movement.

So here is what has happened,

and strap in because this is excellent information.

In 1967 as a lot of social movements called for justice,

a "Fat-In" was staged at Central Park in New York.

500 fat people gathered to eat ice cream and burn diet books,

which, FYI, I will now be doing every Sunday in Hyde Park - join me.

NAAFA, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance

was founded in America in 1969 by Bill Fabrey,

in response to discrimination against his wife.

if your partner doesn't start a social movement...

#leavehim #boybye

In 1973, two people called Judy Freespirit and Aldebaran wrote:

the Fat Liberation Manifesto

which called for fat people to have equal rights.

Declared that the diet industry was the enemy and stated that they were

fully entitled to human respect and recognition.

There were a lot of points in the manifesto

and none of them were

love your curves or #yourbodyisbeautiful.

Because it doesn't matter how much I love my curves,

I will still be discriminated against on a daily basis

and have a harder time buying clothes

anywhere that doesn't have flowers on it.

And I will still have men shout at me from cars.

Fat has been made into body, to make it more palatable.

And liberation has been made into positivity,

to remove all accountability from the perpetrators.

Body positivity is just another way of asking women to smile.

Thankfully, women love being asked to smile.

Oh no wait, no wait umm...

women love having autonomy over their own bodies.

I always get those two confused.
