I'm not talking about jobs like being a supermodel or a weightloss coach or anything like that. I'm talking about traditional “respectable” careers like being a doctor, lawyer, or engineer.

Literally the first sentence. Did you really just skim for the first 2 examples and blank out everything else?

This is why fat representation matters. Growing up as a 90s and 00's kid, where there were barely any fat or even mid-sized female role models, I internalized that girls could grow up to anything, but they had to be skinny first. It still messes with my head today.

Ugh same! It was such an awful time period for fat folks, especially fat women.

I wonder why there were less fat models in the 90s.

Half a lawyers job is literally to legally bully someone in front of a judge, of course I would want them to look as intimidating as possible

>I'm a print/digital journ*list. I don't want to deal with comments about my size if I was a TV reporter, so I relate. I also have a hard of hearing accent so don't want to deal with comments about how I speak either lol, so happy to stick to print/digital.
