Whenever there's an issue over FAs' commitment to size acceptance, there'll inevitably be the charge that FAs are only in it for sexual reasons. From there, things then quickly degenerate into name calling, insinuations, etc., etc.
In my personal experience over the past gawd knows how many decades, nothing could be farther from the truth. In my time at NAAFA, I saw FAs of both genders among the most reliable, tireless and dedicated volunteers and supporters of the movement. While many fat people dropped out when they decided to lose weight or found a significant other, that did not apply to FAs.
In my own experience, being attracted to fatness and feeling outrage at the shabby treatment afforded to fat people always went hand in hand. It seemed self-evident to me that there should be a size acceptance movement long before I discovered that there actually was (a fledgling) one.
Likewise, while having a fat partner is certainly our sexual preference, fatness itself and a fat partner are about so much more than just eroticism. I find the visuals of a fat body endlessly pleasing, the feel of a fat body warm and comforting in a way that never loses its awesomeness. There are forces at work here that far transcend the mere sexual.
