\u201cNot My Job To Shrink\u201d: Plus-Size Woman Hits Back At Trolls Who Want Her To Pay Extra To Fly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A plus-sized activist<\/strong>, who has been \u201cfighting for fat liberation,\u201d clapped back at critics for comparing her body to luggage and demanding she pay extra to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaelynn Chaney, 28, said it was \u201cdehumanizing\u201d to see netizens condemn her for saying airlines should give free extra tickets to plus-size fliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWant to fight fatphobia with me?\u2063\u201d the content creator asked her 140K followers on TikTok and her 93.9K-strong audience on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman from Tri-Cities in Washington said it was time to \u201cbreak down\u201d all the \u201cfatphobic solutions\u2019\u201d people were offering her when it came to air travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She then explained why the \u201csolutions\u201d were merely \u201cexcuses to keep fat people from having equal access and rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to stop treating fat people like we don\u2019t deserve the same dignity and respect,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the clip uploaded in January, she rebutted people\u2019s suggestions, starting with the top suggestion: \u201cJust lost weight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She questioned why she had to change her entire body to accommodate other people\u2019s comfort and said, \u201cIt\u2019s not my job to shrink myself to fit into spaces that were never designed for me in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWhile giving her \u201crebuttal\u201d to the \u201cDon\u2019t fly then\u201d suggestion, the internet star sarcastically asked if she should stop living her life because the world wasn\u2019t \u201cbuilt\u201d for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TikToker said paying extra for luggage is an entirely different issue, but the conversation she wanted to have was one about \u201cfair\u201d and \u201cequal\u201d treatment of all passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers slammed her opinions in the comments section, with one saying, \u201cThe lack of personal responsibility and accountability here is epic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFlying is a luxury, not a right. That is simply the truth. Should we make flights cheaper because there are people who can\u2019t afford a flight?\u201d asked one commenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers criticized her explanations, saying she was lacking \u201cpersonal responsibility and accountability\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the airlines job to change their seats to accommodate you??\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m very short and so I always check my bags bc I can\u2019t reach the overhead bin,\u201d said another. \u201cShould the overhead bins be lowered to accommodate me? No \u2013 and I\u2019d never expect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, one supporter said, \u201cDon\u2019t listen to the haters, you don\u2019t need to change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plus-size activist previously accused an airport employee of discriminating against her for not offering wheelchair assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaelynn previously went viral for saying it was \u201cnon inclusive\u201d for public swimming pools not to have handrails.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make handrails mandatory at all pools for swimmers of every size and ability,\u201d she said in a video last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another occasion, the 28-year-old woman claimed an employee at Seattle\u2013Tacoma International Airport refused to assist her after she had requested a \u201cplus-size wheelchair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accusing the staffer of discrimination, the plus-size woman said, \u201cI almost fainted, this was my first time flying without oxygen.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This woman just assumed I could walk and would rather me do that instead of her having to push someone my size up the jet bridge,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
