Sometimes, people who, I think, mean well like to tell me I am not fat. They will say things like, "Don't say that about yourself," because they understand "fat" as something shameful, something insulting, while I understand "fat" as a reality of my body. When I use the word, I am not insulting myself. I am describing myself.
