I really agree that some people are awful but like you I get in my seat and headphones on and ignore them for the entire flight. Not very friendly I know but neither are the ignorant people who complain about us fat people and also us disabled. Thank you for the blog.

@madeleine, I’d encourage you to look at this policy as a win-win. By providing an additional seat for those who need it – it ensures that you will not be touched as well. We know it is a tight squeeze for people of most sizes, so let’s advocate for comfort for those who need it, and everyone benefits.

just because i weigh under 50 kilos, why should i not be given the same consideration?

many fat people often try to body shame me by telling me to eat, negatively commenting on my thin body, and physically encroaching into my personal space.

objectively, it’s just as hard for many thin people as it is for obese people to live in the modern world.
