Rejected petition Abolish the "plus size" label

More details

People work towards unrealistic weight sizes because of the media and fashion industry labelling people as "plus size". This is basically calling them fat which can be very demoralising. Our campaign is about making people feel that they are perfect and not feel the need to work towards the "perfect body" that media portrays.
