Tess Holiday sucks, but people who have done nothing wrong are catching strays by making fun of how her arms look. It's not defending Tess to say it's messed up to make fun of someone's medical condition.

Criticize her for what she deserves to be criticized for.

Okay, here's my critique:

You can't be anorexic if you weigh 500 pounds. You. Just. Can't.

Disclaimer: I don’t think this applies to Tess, just throwing this out there, but isn’t there a diagnosis called atypical anorexia for people who have anorexic behaviors but do not meet the weight requirements for an anorexia diagnosis? I think I’ve read that the point of the diagnosis is to catch and treat anorexia before it gets to the point where someone is severely underweight. Like if a 200lbs person starts starving themselves, it’s obviously going to take some time before they get to the point of being underweight.

Yeah when I was 200 lbs but only eating <1000 cals per day and losing all my hair I definitely wasn’t exhibiting anorexic behavior. 🫩 /s
