Oh C'mon! It doesn't say healthy or ideal, it's just a body and a person who needs to feel loved just like everyone else. If anything isn't beautiful it's this post.

Sing it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What kind of person needs to tear down another for the act of liking themselves? It’s not even like she is saying she’s the most beautiful woman on earth or anything conceited. She thinks she is beautiful. She is obviously a larger woman; and she is trying to make a statement, bring some awareness to trolls like this that people like her, all people, are human beings. She isn’t furniture or a blight upon society. She’s a human person with feeling who shouldn’t be ignored or insulted because she doesn’t look like you or the way you’d want to look.

Hmm I think it's more of the "everyone has to see it this way" thing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They're telling everyone they have to find her beautiful. If she likes her body, I'm happy for her. She might have an awesome personality. But I do not find her body beautiful and no one can force me to.

They cannot. They should not. You find what you find beautiful. “Everyone is beautiful” isn’t a militant demand that you personally find every person beautiful. I could see how one might feel that way. Let’s use music. You might not like a certain band or a certain type of music: but there is a BIG difference between saying “this isn’t for me” or “I don’t like this” and saying “this is cancer in society. It shouldn’t exist. It’s not even music.” Now- with music, you might hurt the artists feelings in the relatively unlikely event they find out you dislike their work. You might hurt the feelings of someone who really likes it: but the music itself doesn’t have feelings.

Being treated like it’s invisible, or a monster, wont hurt the music. It will hurt a person. Almost all of us have had times where we felt unwanted or unattractive. Almost all of us like to feel at least like we are presentable in public. But wether it’s an amputation, a birth mark, a scar, burns, your weight, your teeth, a bad haircut... whatever- no one wants to feel like a sideshow freak when they leave the door. Be the butt of jokes just for being alive and in life.

So it’s not about you personally finding her beautiful. It’s the fact that someone out there will or does. At least herself. As a society in general we tend to almost strip the overweight of their humanity. Many tend to think of them as just a blight- shocked that anyone would ever want them. The default assumption often is that this person must be single. That if they have a partner then they must have money, or that something has to be “wrong” with their partner that they HAD to resort to dating them and couldn’t find someone “better.” And when most of the world is telling you that you aren’t beautiful. That you are a sidekick and not the protagonist of your own life, that unless you change you’ll have to settle for what you can get- that causes deep damage to a person.

Some large people are very vocal and in your face. They kinda have to be. They have to love themselves so intensely to make up for how much the world hates them, just so they can have the ability to get through the day.
