I understand what TC is saying. There is nothing wrong with moving away from derogatory labels. I don't think it is lying to someone by telling them they're overweight or obese while still outlining how unhealthy it is. The message is there and doesn't somehow become clearer by calling the person fat.
Bro, TC is not saying Use a nicer term. Hes saying No, you are not fat at all.

However, I feel its important to share a message for anyone who might need to hear it, and everyone on the board. Whether youre 50, 100, or 300 pounds overweight, please remember: You are not fat. You have fat. Fat does not define you; it is not your personality, nor is it an intrinsic part of who you are.
If he was saying the former, there would be little pushback. Ffs.
