Examples

“Most people are startled by my unapologetic use of "fat" to describe not only the heroine of my novel, but my own body. To a majority of people, fat can never be anything but an insult. So I've explained again and again that fat activists use the word proudly in an effort to destigmatize not only the word, but by extension, the fat body.”
