The fat acceptance movement has been divided in its response to proposed legislation defining morbidly obese people as disabled. NAAFA board member Peggy Howell says: "There's a lot of conflict in the size acceptance community over this. I don't consider myself disabled, and some people don't like 'fat' being considered a disability."[1] An example of the positive perspective of obesity being classified as a disability in wider society is noted by one researcher: "SheTemplate:Who makes a point to tell me how impressed she is with the way many do make quiet and polite accommodations for her."[2]
Women are particularly active within the fat acceptance movement and membership of fat acceptance organizations is dominated by middle-class women in the heaviest 1–2% of the population.[3] Members have criticized the lack of representation in the movement from men, people of color, and people of lower socioeconomic status.[4]
