FKK Educational Piece About Fat Shaming And Being Folks Favorable:
"Folks favorable," based on our world view, is about not judging an individual based on anything but the way they act. Below you'll see an interaction that took place last night on the Naturist Portal Facebook wall. However , before you read it, I would love to only make a couple of points very clear
The FKK individuals favorable prognosis is one of acceptance. Do we see people who are overweight or underweight? Yes. But it isn't our place to judge these people. To begin with, every person is different, and everyone has health issues. We don't understand this history, we also don't know what this person is doing as a way to live a healthy life.
By jumping to judgement, people assume they understand what that individual continues to be through and what physical dilemmas they've been driven to cope with. Also, An Outline of the Mid-Winter Naturist Festival with Morley Schloss of a person cannot be measured in pounds or inches.
People Positive Fat Shaming
Folks have the right to choose how you can lead their lives, and if they're happy then they are doing a good job. So that you can see the person for who they are, people have to look past the outward appearances and see the man for who they really are.
Susceptibility to other people is an important focus of the individuals positive approach we take at FKK. We don't consider that offering guidance on sensitive or private matters unless an individual asks for an opinion. But if asked, we believe in telling that person just what you think.
We all need to feel accepted - it's human nature. One negative opinion (even with honest good intentions at heart) could have a long-lasting profound effect on a person's body image and general mind. I mention general mind since I want to be clear that our people positive outlook does not start and / or end with body image and weight.
The people favorable ideal applies to a variety of facets of life and individual interaction. How Lena Dunham Gets Naked On TV and Why We Love Her For It is an excellent example of conduct that cannot and should not be taken. Intimidation does not have to mean physically attacking someone and causing physical injury. A comment could make scars that last a lifetime and this really is something we do not approve of and truthfully do not tolerate.
Our members are anticipated to act and interact in a respectful manner. Sometimes folks might unknowingly say things or act in techniques could have negative repercussions. In such scenarios we expect those individuals to express some sort of sincere remorse (notably since the the opinions were not intended to be hurtful). Saying sorry is by no means a show of weakness; if anything, it's a show of moral and ethical stature.
Recognizing that our actions affect others is the first step to becoming a people favorable and cultured society.

I don't think that is amazing. If I saw a bluebird or a butterfly or a squirrel or any species of creature that corpulent I wouldn't believe it was wonderful either. That girl must get on an all plants-established diet (vegan) and keep up her walking along the shoreline.
"Mr.Y" Replies: How do you know she doesn't already do all that ?
Felicity Jones Opinions: Opinions like yours can go a very long way as much as damaging that person's self esteem and self-image. Truthfully, such remarks are totally unacceptable. Stephen also makes a good point.
Research has shown that many overweight individuals do not eat any differently from lean people, and size is often not an exact measure of how healthy a person is. ( Naked Events - Februrary 2012 can be quite a thin man who eats nothing but junk food & never exercises!) Let's reiterate, it is not your place nor ours to judge or make medical recommendations.
"Mr.Z" Remarks: I agree with Naturist Portal but I will say that it is difficult to find the balance between fighting obesity/promoting a healthy weight and additionally not judging people. I might never say anything to offend anyone, but WHAT'S the proper way to promote a healthy weight without offending overweight people or boosting sex?
Felicity Replies: But other than that we should accept them. And basically just offer help or guidance if they ask you for it. It's offensive to visit your own notions of how that man should change their body or lifestyle, especially if you do not understand the man's medical history.
To be proactive, you can even write and talk about it, bring up the dilemma, and raise awareness. (But it ain't easy and you have to be dedicated!)

Brian Anthony Kraemer Replies: I know my words are not politically correct, but I don't believe the argument that this is healthy. Give me one example of any species on the planet apart from human beings who are grossly overweight and still find a way to congratulate each other on how delightful they may be. If the woman pictured has some type of thyroid imbalance or other uncommon physical issue that makes being overweight a essential, then her efforts to do the best she can with what she is got, and her effort to overcome it, is wonderful, but I will not say the obesity is amazing.
If someone's face is horrifically marred by injury or disease, he may be inwardly amazing, his spirit, his enjoyment and happiness and strength of character may be wonderful, but I am not going to place a photo of his awful appearance on Facebook and entitle it, "Some amazing photos."
Felicity: Brian, the point we were trying to make is about not judging another person depending on their look / size. It is *not* about whether you think it is "wonderful" or not. You are entitled to your own opinion about the beauty of any piece of art, or what you consider appealing in an individual, as is everyone. But judging & fat shaming are distinct, and do not do any good for anyone.
