In my experience as a fat, middle aged guy, I don’t get fat shamed openly to my face a lot. But two incidents happened to me over the last couple of months that could count as fat shaming. A few weeks ago I was riding in an elevator alone. It stopped partway to my destination and someone was waiting to get on. When they saw me, they stopped (even though there was plenty of open space) and all of a sudden pretended that they forgot something. The other incident was more obvious. I was picking up a box of donuts (😋) and an elderly woman commented quietly (or so she thought) to her friend that “I didn’t look like I needed that” I looked straight at at her and said “no, but I want it!”. She turned beet red! 🤣
