Part 4/12:
In one exchange, a fat activist discusses the discrimination faced by overweight individuals, highlighting societal biases manifesting in medical settings and travel industries. A petition called the Fat Equality Bill of Rights aims to secure equal rights for fat individuals to seek the same services without incurring extra fees or facing societal stigma. The advocate draws a parallel between advocating fat rights and seeking civil rights for historically marginalized groups, reminding us that fatness can often feel like an identity that one cannot change, similar to race and gender.
