That's what bothers me - her blatant dishonesty, which she uses to further her agenda.  I really think fat activists are unbelievably selfish people.  They don't care about negatively influencing other people's health as long as they get benefit from it.  They want to force everyone into believing that being fat makes you happier, healthier, and more attractive.  Anyone that dares challenge this narrative is a horrible person. I could be wrong, but I think they greatly exaggerate the amount of real world "threats" they get.  Almost all of it is most likely in comments on the internet that they wouldn't read if they didn't choose to.  They know that being a "victim" will make a lot of people rally to their defense.
