In reply to by Emily R.

Hi Emily,

Thank you so much for reminding us to be mindful about the vocabulary we use to when talking about people's bodies and for sharing your experience with us! As a note, the author doesn't use the term "non-fat" in the piece. She does use "non-thin." Is that phrasing reading as problematic to you? If so, please let me know! We want to use only compassion when talking about women's lived experiences and their bodies, so any feedback you have is very appreciated!

Thank you,
Bella
