Wow. Let's hope that the TITP crowd never gets onto Yelp. I can only imagine the reviews Artetolife would write.

Or maybe the size of that gate is to prevent vehicles from getting into the park, including little ones like Vespas and stuff. Having to climb over a chain has nothing to do with thin privilege.

OMG, seriously? You can easily step over that. I bet most thin people step over it too.

Exactly. Just step over the chain or go under it. I'm not even sure that little opening was meant to be a gate at all. You can see that there is a wide sidewalk big enough to accommodate vehicles like cars, and the chain was put there to prevent that. If the park really didn't want people coming in that way, they'd have put up a real fence, not a chain. That chain is obviously low enough for people to easily step across, and the park certainly knew that.

Even smaller than vespas. Those controlled access gates are supposed to keep kids from bringing their bicycles through the park and tearing up the lawn with them. The wider, chained openings are there to allow the maintenance crew to bring through lawnmowers and other equipment as needed and also for emergency vehicle access. Those posts are removable in sockets in the ground for just that contingency, and it is also why there's that nice, wide concrete path there for vehicles to occasionaly drive on without damaging the lawn. It's probably also a designated fire lane.
It's an unfortunate fact of life that you simply cannot create a gate narrow enough to restrict children's bicycles that doesn't also restrict wide people. Or at least not one that's as simple and inexpensive to the taxpayer as two posts set close together. This also restricts wheelchair access, which is why I can guarantee that park has a wider entrance somewhere else. The point of gates like this is to restrict traffic going through the park, not into it. But then wheelchair users generally have a little grace and dignity and aren't nearly as whiny as the thin privilege people, and also aren't too lazy to go use the proper entrance if they need to.
This is just speculation, but I strongly suspect the woman who wrote this whinge doesn't scoop after her dog when she takes it through this public park. I'd bet good money she thinks being able to bend over to scoop is also thin privilege.

Thought I'd share some anti-FA/TITP pages. These people have valid arguments against FA/TITP and I thought it would be nice if I provided links to some reasonable people so we're not always boiling over the stupid shit ArtetoLife says.

Seriously? You want something with its own gravitational pull running around on the streets? That's a recipe for disaster.

Not to mention all the workouts that can even be done in the comfort of one's own home. That's just looking for an excuse not to improve.

It's like the mother and daughter from "Supersize Me" who claimed they couldn't lose weight because they couldn't afford to eat from Subway for every meal.

Technically they do, but it's usually measured in gross vehicle tonnage and pounds per square foot. If that ever becomes an issue for these people what can we expect next? This is Double Axle Privilege?

Linda Bacon is the author at "Health at every size" a book I've read. In the book she said she had been fat most of her life and had now given up trying to be thin.
But here she is in the documentary and she extremely thin. I am thinking that Linda Bacon is the P.T Barnum of fat acceptance.

It's because losing weight is hard and anything that takes time and discipline is not worth doing.
The reason that most people who try to lose weight fail is because losing weight is a lifetime and lifestyle change. But people don't get this and they want it fast and they want it now. So they starve themselves to lose the weight and it works. Problem is your body doesn't like this and gets all defensive about the weight loss. When you've lost the weight and start eating normally again, normally of course meaning exactly the same crap you ate before that made you fat in the first place, you're going to regain that weight plus a little more.
You can't go back to the way you were especially if you're on a starvation diet. You're just setting yourself up for a fall. But there are people that not only have been able to lose the weight but have kept it off for years. They've learned that they need to continue what they were doing before which is eating properly and exercising properly with the occasional snack or treat. Have a cheat day. Have some hot wings and beers with your buddies. Have a slice of cheesecake. Enjoy it but don't make a habit out of it.
Real weight loss takes time, discipline and effort. Anybody that tells you it's simple and can be done in a week or a month is lying to you.
