Maybe weight stigma is a good thing?
Rhetorical question.
It’s obviously a good thing.
The idea that everyone should always be comfortable is a stupid, childish idea, and not even the people who promote it believe it. These are the same people going around talking about “white privilege” and how whites owe other people something because of their ancestors.
An overweight “fat activist” disclosed that she has been hired by the City of San Francisco to provide guidance on the prevention of “weight stigma.” On Monday, Virgie Tovar reported the news to her more than 82,000 followers on Instagram. This comes after California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state’s own version of DOGE, President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, which is meant to eliminate wasteful government spending.
Tovar, 42, wrote in the post: “I’m working with a team at the San Francisco Department of Public Health as a consultant on weight stigma & weight neutrality.” She added: “I’m UNBELIEVABLY proud to serve the city I’ve called home for almost 20 years in this way. This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it’s my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health.”
Tovar, who has a master’s degree in sexuality studies from San Francisco State University, is an activist who is dedicated to the fight against weight discrimination and dieting. The Blaze reported that she is the author of several books such as “You Have the Right to Remain Fat” and “The Self-Love Revolution: Radical Body Positivity for Girls of Color.”
Tovar explained her campaign against unrealistic thin beauty standards in a 2017 interview unearthed by the publication.
“I was born a fat person into a fat-hating culture,” she said. “I’d made myself sick trying to lose weight. Even when I was trying my hardest, I wasn’t anywhere near a weight where people would say I was normal. This work felt like the only way I could survive. I wasn’t going to live a life of shame anymore.”
Tovar posted on her Instagram that in recent years she has gone “no contact” with her family.
Well. That is not surprising. All of these bizarre political activists have bizarre personal lives.
There’s some man in one of these photos.
Niggas is thirsty out there, apparently, but come on.
