Say hello to Jae’lynn Chaney. According to her Instagram account, Chaney is a plus-sized social media influencer and “advocate for people of all shapes and sizes.” As part of her advocacy, she has launched a change.org petition which fights “for the FAA to Protect Plus-Size Travelers.” As of this writing, the petition has 7,200 signatures out of the 7,500 goal.
Here, I discuss the petition along with the overall fat acceptance/body passivity movement.
