>Fat people are constructed as failed citizens; they are believed to be a burden on society, consuming too many resources and costing too many healthcare monies. In modern neoliberal contexts, this results in hostile environments and the development of spoiled identities (stigmatized identities in which the bearer is held responsible for the stigma). These hostile environments are demonstrated in many ways: governments failing to designate weight as a category protected from discrimination, public health campaigns aimed at battling the "war on obesity," and immigration policies that exclude people based on body mass index.

This is all good.

>The author explores the latter using an autoethnographic method; the author, who was excluded from obtaining a resident visa in New Zealand because of her body mass index, uses her personal experiences battling an immigration system to explore these biopolitics and their role in (re)producing fat oppression.

Academia would be a lot better if anyone using the word autoethnographic had to defend their thesis by combat

Getting r-slurs too think being fat is ok is one of the many failures of the modern era. Unless someone is gaining weight for specifically an acting role, there is no reason anyone should ever be fat.
