Gut / Sizeism

"My gut was telling me that PCOS wasn't the automatic infertility sentence so often thrown upon fat women with the condition. It was telling me that many (if not all) of the doctors I spoke to throughout adolescence and young adulthood who either told me, "you'll have to lose a lot of weight if you ever want a baby and then go through very expensive fertility treatments," or "you'll never have kids at all," might have been operating under pure, unadulterated fatphobia. The kind of sizeism proven to affect the medical community at large. The kind of sizeism that favors encouraging weight loss before getting to the root of an actual problem."
