Fat

This is a fat liberation space. We use "fat" as a neutral, reclaimed word.

• Don't promote intentional weight loss, weight loss surgery, or weight=health.
• You don't need to be fat to participate in this space but it is fat-liberation focused.
• Not everyone has the same learning or lived experience of fat liberation. We're a friendly group. Interact with compassion and understanding even when holding people accountable. The first secret is belly. If you have a concern, talk to an admin.

Disability

This is a disability liberation space. We use "Crip" as a neutral, reclaimed word.

• Don't use ableist slurs, inspiration porn (e.g. videos of disabled people doing everyday things labeled as "inspiring"), or "special needs" language (e.g. "special needs" or "differently abled", "wheelchair-bound," "suffers from").
• Don't assume what accommodations people need or don't need - ask or let people self-advocate.

• Some members are new to disability activism. Interact with compassion while holding people accountable.

Age

This is an age liberation space. We use "old" as a neutral, reclaimed word.
