It's done. The word is out. The same way things changed when Caio said, "I'm gay," things change when I say, "I'm fat." Because *fat* is the kind of word people try to hide, no matter the cost. Everyone says "chubby" or "big boned," but never "FAT." *Fat* is a word you can never take back. When you declare something, even if it's obvious to everyone already, it becomes real.
