People really don’t think fat bodies can feel pain.

When I reflect on it, there is rarely gentleness when people are touching fat bodies.
I mean medically, in beauty services, sexually, etc.

It’s almost like people see our fatness as “padding” rather than parts of us/of body.
Our tolerance for pain isn’t lower than thinner people. Are fat aren’t nerveless parts of body or “padding” it’s skin,fat, blood, muscle.
This also has to do with us being dehumanized as well too. Not seeing us a human who feel pain
I remember a man telling me he likes that I’m fat so that he could be rougher with me sexually because again “padding”

It’s as if fat bodies are punching bags to y’all. Literally and figuratively
