I disagree, as a not-as-fat-as-I-used-to-be person, we get called fat PLENTY. And, trust me on this, be called out for being fat is in no way helpful, it's really damaging, not to mention humiliating. So, if you try to "help" the next overweight person you see by calling them fat, just hope it isn't me.
