This is the first step - like hey, fat people DO have fashion sense. Maybe they... have feelings? Understand their own bodies and health? Maybe I should get their perspective and really understand what's going on here. There's bound to be some trolly commentors, but at the same time, maybe this would make a few of them stop and think.

There's a thread with about 100 posts due to a "concern troll" as you put it. I read Jezebel every day, but post comments pretty sparingly. This whole post annoyed and depressed me. Actually all of yesterday was one of those days I guess for me... seems like everything I saw or read just made me feel worse about myself.
