I’m normally used to being ignored and wear headphones, so when people suddenly ask me if I need help I’m always not ready. Usually can’t hear em either. Why are they looking at me amd moving their lips?
My wife and I tag-team when going to home depot or Lowes. I’ll check isles, and she’ll find assistance faster than I ever can. It’s expedited our trips there significantly
It's a combination of all of the above, I'm sure. Probably some sexism, but it could also be that now that I'm happier I project a friendlier attitude making me more approachable. I guess I'll never know!
I've definitely noticed that women are muuuuuuch friendlier toward me since transitioning which is really nice. Other women meet me eyes instead of averting it and usually flash a genuine smile (not a sheepish one like before), and will usually say something even if just a quick "hi!".
On the other hand, men are much more standoffish and weird around me, which I'm totally fine with lol
PSA to those offended. Being fat is not okay. Big Pharma would love us all to be though so we can be riddled with disease for life. Literal cash “cows”. Trim up people so we can trim down pharmas draining of our pocketbooks.
Yeah this doesn’t work at all. Being obese is 100% on the person. Anyone who doesn’t want to be obese can be with effort, but it is far easier to just be obese.
Those predecessors to an infection aren’t comparable to the gradual onset of obesity. I believe we should all be able to laugh, even at ourselves. This doesn’t single anyone out for ridicule.
I’d mostly agree. People can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that being fat can increase the likelihood of all kinds of nasty things like heightened blood pressure, difficulty breathing, difficulty moving, mental health problems, and a whole lot of other things.
It’s one thing to be fat, and it’s another thing to not try to change that. Good thing that facts don’t care about feelings.
