That's the statement. There is nothing it is nothing. Where is it saying? Whoa, this is fucked. The community was like, no, if you go in there so the links to all these posts are in the comments. Yeah, go read the comments. I mean, I'm just reading them. So one from Dr. Rachel Milner if you don't know Dr. Rachel, go follow Dr. Rachel Milna. On the Instagrams is, that's just the count Dr. Rachel and Milner with two L's who says, needed this statement is disappointing, but not surprising coming from your organization. This statement confirms what so many of us already know to be true. You believe fatness is a problem, you think supporting weight loss in kids is okay. And your concern as an organization is only for the very small percentage of people with low weight anorexia. Your circle spinning pile of words in the statement could not hide your core values as an organization. Given that you talk about screening and education of eating disorders in the document, here's a bit of education for you. Every single child who is exposed to any quote intervention in these guidelines is at risk for an eating disorder. Every one of them. Anytime a child or adolescent loses weight no matter what their size is, there needs to be concern for an eating disorder. If you plan to be, quote, collaborative partners in the quote, development and dissemination of anything in these guidelines. Please be clear that you are then quote, collaborative partners in causing eating disorders and putting kids mental and physical health in danger. Just be real with your followers about where you stand. Don't try to gaslight people into thinking that you that you are advocating for fat kids or fat kids with eating disorders. What's particularly sad to me is what that I'm guessing that your board and members of your advisory council had to sign off on this statement. It's so heartbreaking and infuriating that any one of them would do that. Body image with Bree says tell me you have no fat or marginalized folks on your board without telling me you don't have any fat or marginalized folks on your board. I second a Sharon Maxwell. Quote NIDA is an organization who states they have a seat at the table for all but it turns out they didn't check to see if the chair was inclusive for all bodies. Mm hmm. Yeah. So. So people will make a post saying Anita is is dogshit then Anita came out and said, okay, so imagine if you're NIDA, alright, we, this really harmful chick came out. And so we made this really milquetoast statement where we will just like, listen, to listen to people and, you know, anything so, okay, people are mad that we didn't say anything, people are mad. Or what should we do? What should we do? What should we do? People are mad. They'd said that we didn't say anything. We didn't say that. Putting kids in surgery and giving them drugs was bad. So oh, what should we do? You're thinking, we should say, hey, the AAP guidelines are bad. They were fucked up. This is what this is what needed then said April 13. We are issuing a statement in response to certain false claims and misrepresentation circling on social media. Okay, good stuff. We have been wrongly accused of having advanced knowledge and being supportive of the AAP clinical guidelines. To be clear these accusations are false. Nida never consulted with nor were we consulted by the AAP concerning these guidelines. We like we like many of our peer organizations reckon recognized the tremendous potential harm of the guidelines Did you? Did you recognize these are the actions we've taken? January 21. After the guidelines were published, we quickly convened our clinical and research advisory councils and published a series of statements after extensive research. Okay, and then we heard statements. We met with AAP leadership to express January 23. We went and we met with AAP leadership to express our concerns, and you talk about the importance of forming a taskforce with eating disorder experts and asking for the implementation of the guidelines to be halted. were introduced, we introduced the AAP, aap and the Academy of eating disorders leader Ship, April 11, the implementation of the guidelines has been halted, and the first meeting of the AAP task force was held. April TBD, we plan to publish an English and Spanish version of a parent guide to help individuals and families navigate those, these conversations with their pediatrician knowing that armed with information parents can be an informed, active advocates and protectors of the health of their children. Sadly, in the age of social media, just publishing something makes it true in the minds of some people. By the by the way, this is a professional organization and that's how they're talking. We know the intelligence and passion of people in our community. Don't be misled, ask questions, require citation require citation and facts, verify before reacting. Let's focus on where we can create common good and where we can make an impact. We all as a community have a significant work ahead ahead of us. Let's turn our individual and collective energy into constructive engagement that creates the change that is so needed for now and always at NIDA. We are devoting all of our time, energy and resources to realize a realizing our mission, supporting individuals and families affected by eating disorders and serving as a catalyst for prevention cures and access to quality care. Let's read a few comments what people thought about that. Carly Stanfield, Hi, y'all probably know my account by now. I have been commenting on you a lot. Commenting on a lot of posts in the past few weeks, trying to make sense of the jumbled statements you have been putting out including the initial neutral stance in regards to the AAP guidelines. But I don't think this is the sole reason people are upset. I think this was the final straw for a lot of people. See, I live in a fat body. And over the course of my own recovery, I have seen firsthand how needed doesn't support people in fat bodies. I remember wondering why why you all partnered with airy, a company that only sells up to a size 2x. I remember wondering why I never saw people that looked like me on yours website, or Instagram. I remember feeling ashamed that a community that I once fit into and I was sin was no longer a place I fit because I was fat. I wrote an open letter to you all a few years ago, it's still on my Instagram addressing how those of us in fat bodies felt since then there have been there has been no change. Since then the her vote, there has only been more hurt. I followed you all for a decade, I've attended and spoken at multiple needle walks and events. I've donated money to yours organization. So I think when you can you all can put out a statement in less than 24 hours about some rumors. It's kind of a slap in the face. To those of us who have been asking for acknowledgement, the past few months, our feelings are valid. And all we're asking for is change, change that is backed up by science and those with lived experience. So I missed out a statement from NIDA. So there was another statement from NIDA being like, Ah, I guess it's, you know, like some, again, another crappy statement. And so then, because that didn't work, then people were saying, hey, this isn't why why the fuck is Nida. Why the fuck is needed doing this? Why can't they just say this is abhorrent? And so then people were doing digging. And they found that needed, allegedly have been working with the AAP beforehand. Right. I'll show you. I'll read some things out to you about that. So then, so then within 24 hours of that coming out, this is neither statement of that's not true. Let's all come together and forget all of the bad stuff that I've done. And I'm just I'm going to go home looking at all of the responses that I had at the time when I grew up. These are good responses. Uncharted healing dot Mia, Anita, please read it's one. Effective eating disorder treatment requires trauma informed practices when we cause harm regardless of intent. We start by acknowledging that harm, we ask how we can utilize our privileges to do better and provide emotional retributions to those who've been harmed. defences responses are illuminating and truly disheartening. They're informative, and I thank you for this. It's all of the information many of us critical thinkers needed to solidify our instincts, deep, deep gratitude to the incredibly brave humans that found their strength to use our voices. They don't need followers, they don't need support. They have an army of incredible soldiers behind them fighting for one thing justice, think about the courage it required. Think about your own fear. It all starts here back to our collective trauma. It's 2023. I urge you to consider how and what you can learn from this experience. We have a long road ahead of us and people are dying in the process. So a lot of activists have been Talking about a bit about this eating disorder stuff. I'm not as much in the eating disorder field
