@futurebird@BethB I agree that Ozempic is great for helping people lose weight, and I support people who choose to use it responsibly, but I also think it's going to make things worse for many people who can't afford it, don't want to take it, or aren't able to take it, as well as for people with eating disorders and body dysmorphia.
Soon Ozempic will be firmly entrenched as
a drug only for people who can afford it, further perpetuating fat stigma by associating it with being poor and disabled
a drug every fat person is pressured into taking, regardless of its side effects, drug interactions, affordability, or medical necessity
Both are new incarnations of how society turns fatness into a moral and individual failing. It's diet culture enforced by pharmaceutical authority.
I don't mean to be an asshole though - seriously, thank you for sharing your experiences with it
