"New York City lawmakers approved a bill to ban weight discrimination this week, making the city the largest municipality in the country to ban anti-fat bias.

The proposal passed the New York City Council by a vote of 44-5 on Thursday, The Hill reported. The approved legislation will amend the city’s administrative code to make perceived and actual weight and height discrimination illegal in employment, public accommodations, and housing."

"One of the New Yorkers who shared their story was self-proclaimed “Fat Fab Feminist” Victoria (((Abraham))), a recent NYU graduate who educates her 120,000 social media followers about weight stigma."
