Fatphobia isn’t like arachnophobia. It’s kind of like systemic barriers and assumptions made about fat people. One really easy example is the experience of fat people at the doctor’s “oh you have a sore tummy ? Just lose some weight. Next !” Or that show The Biggest Loser, which demonised fat people until they lost weight, even though the methods used to make them lose weight were far worse for their health in the long run.
