โ€œI am so distressed by people who call themselves โ€˜radical feministsโ€™ but are anti-trans. I could weep. I donโ€™t get it. Itโ€™s beyond me,โ€ she says. โ€œWhen the feminist movement started in the 60s and 70s, lesbians were often excluded, because we were told that we would make the movement less palatable. I have been excluded myself, so how could I do that to someone else? It fills me with rage.โ€

This is why #fat shaming can have tragic consequences.

If this sort of #weight-based #medical bias happens to any of y'all, politely tell the #doctor (during your visit) that you want them to write in your file that they are refusing ordering tests for you because of your current weight. This usually causes them to order the test anyways because they do NOT want a malpractice suit. Remember: You want to make a paper trail to hold them #accountable.
