The "fat acceptance" definition you use, I can totally get behind that. No one should be shamed for being depressed or being fat, they deserve support and help, as well as being treated as a normal human being deserving the same respect as everyone else. However, the issue is that a lot of times when someone says "fat acceptance", they mean it in a sense of accepting that being extremely overweight can be totally healthy and fine. With a giant dose of anti-doctor sentiment mixed in, because "i know more than doctors because I use google to find other opinions supporting my current opinion". If we want "fat acceptance" to be taken seriously, there needs to be a clear line drawn between those two usages of the term. The one you propose (aka the one in my first paragraph) is extremely reasonable and humane, and should be taken seriously. While the one I mentioned in my second paragraph should be separated as far as possible from that term. It just taints the definition you propose and makes people take it less seriously, which slows down the needle of progress that your definition is supposed to accomplish.
