[Content Note: Fat shaming; medical malfeasance.]
"The Shame of Fat-Shaming" by Sayantani DasGupta. This piece is so terrific; I'm not even going to excerpt it. Just go read the whole thing.
(In which is quoted, by the way, Shaker Mod Hallelujah_Hippo's excellent piece on the WaPo article about the fat-hating doctor.)
My thanks to Professor DasGupta for her wonderful article, and to Professor Daniel Goldberg for the heads-up.
