So. Not really a response to the topic at hand, but:
I've seen some of Kate Harding's writing before, in the context of "Fat Acceptance." She is kind of a maniac - I'm sorry, but no, being overweight/obese is NOT healthy, and no, doctors are not assholes for telling people it's important to lose weight, because it is.
And so when I see her writing on other topics, even ones where I agree with her, I'm kind of inclined to take what she's saying with a grain of salt.
