A doctor visit has left me disgusted with fat people even more So for context, I'm trans, and after spending months in therapy to make sure that I actually need the hormone treatment / etc., I'm finally at the point where I can start seeing medical professionals about getting started with all that. The other day, I had an appointment for getting blood work done, scheduling a psych. eval. so that they know I'm sane and not going to sue them, and so on. As part of it, they did some general quick physical checks - heart / lungs, blood pressure, the usual. The person doing it was surprised that I'm actually thin. I'm 6'1, ~135lbs, BMI roughly 17.8, which I know is somewhat unhealthy, but I've been trying to avoid raising it too much because of how hormone treatment and whatnot messes with your metabolism. But the fact that me being thin when going after this stuff is surprising to medical professionals is horrifying; I don't get how anyone could NOT put effort into keeping their bodies in decent shape, especially when it comes to something like this where your body's condition matters a LOT.
