This is brilliant. I'm mostly saving it for my own later use, but I also wanted to share it.
"21 Things to Stop Saying Unless You Hate Fat People"
(If I were writing the article I would rephrase that to "...unless you want to contribute to hatred and discrimination against fat people." I know, I know, that doesn't pack the same rhetorical punch.)
Warnings:
1. Trigger warning for comments -- they might discuss examples of fat hatred.
2. I am instituting rules for the comments of this post. Do not promote any of the things listed as fat-hating. Also do not quibble about whether items on the list count as promoting fat hatred. You might well want to quibble, because even I don't agree with all of items, but please do it somewhere other than in comments to this entry. I'm going to delete comments that don't follow the rules. If I delete your comment, it doesn't mean I hate you.

I've encountered most of these things in the wild. With white-person privilege, I find that racist white people say things around me that they would never say to a person of colour. I don't think it's the same with thin-people privilege—apparently no one has a problem saying most of these things right to fat people's faces, which is not only hateful but mindbogglingly rude.
