The article in question
Evidence of discrimination against fat people is widespread. In Sweden and Mexico, where including a photograph with a cv is common, researchers manipulated images to make identical fictitious job applicants seem fatter or obese. They found that they were significantly less likely to be offered interviews. Petter Lundborg of Lund University and John Cawley of Cornell University have compared the wages of thin and fat women, adjusted for education, experience and other factors, in Europe and America respectively, and found that women with obese bmis earn around 10% less than their peers.
"Ozempic has won, body positivity has lost. And I want no part of it," lamented Rachel Pick, a writer, in the Guardian.
Holy fattie

All this is to say I realized some time ago that I would never, ever be thin: I am simply not built that way. This realization, plus everything we already know about the pitfalls of diet culture, had made any attempt to lose weight seem both futile and like a good way to make me hate myself. So until last year, I had never even tried. My weight crept up, and up, and up. Finally, after a physical in late 2021, my blood sugar came up right on the border of the prediabetic range. It was clear: I had been playing with house money up to this point, but now, at 34, youth was no longer on my side.

You can clock an ozempic user just like you can clock anyone else playing pretend. This is a nonissue

it's mostly just the rapid weight loss. after losing 20 lbs in half a year your skin will be too lose, but if you stay skinny for another year, your skin will adapt.

Idk I have some women in the office on it. If they were rational people with self control they wouldn't have needed ozempic. They are using it so they don't have to practice any self control. They hit their target weight, eat bad, and cycle back on ozempic for a bit. But every time they do it they lose more muscle and that's what you are clocking, not the baggy skin. But also it ages them. They look 10 years older from it
