Update from Meowser 02/19/2008: Bitch has now put the article up online; post re-edited to reflect that.
Note from Meowser: Post has been edited to correct spelling of Lily-Rygh Glen’s name.
As many of you are probably aware of by now, Bitch magazine has an article out in its current issue, by Lily-Rygh Glen, called “Big Trouble.” It’s about how people with binge-eating disorders allegedly are not welcome anywhere in the size-acceptance movement if they get help for their problem, because if those women get skinny by giving up their binges, they will make the rest of us look bad and we’d rather they ate themselves to death than actually got cured, because that’s the kind of cold mean douchenozzles we all are.
