“when considered separately from other health issues” like all the detrimental byproducts of being morbidly obese?
lol, yes, a number can’t hurt you, but being overweight has, can, and will. ffs.

Actually yes, depression acceptace (and mental health acceptance in general) is part of the process to helping people be happy and healthy. As someone with depression (who is also fat) accepting myself and finding communities where i am accepted as i am and encouraged to be my own personal form of healthy is good for me.
Shaming someone for being depressed isnt going to suddenly make their depression go away. Shaming someone for being fat isnt going to suddenly make them thin. Judinging someone as a person for medical conditions that are often a complex result of genetics, environment, and culture is not helpful.
Accepting, loving, and supporting people is what helps.
I fully support accepting people in need. I don’t support accepting the condition itself. Fat acceptance has been doing that. Being fat is being in suffer. Fat acceptance is just fueling the denial. I do not endorse any type of body shaming. That’s totally different from criticizing fat acceptance.
Perfectly stated. There is a big difference between shaming someone that is significantly overweight vs. coming out and saying that it doesn’t affect your health. The few people I know that are in the obese category will outright tell you that they don’t want to be overweight. But they struggle with it just like someone sincerely wanting to stop smoking.
