Red~ I understand your point and have similar views. I object to being labeled in general personally. I also think it's completely unnecessary to say I am a BBW.

B~ if you look at me it's obvious I am not diminutive

B~ it's not my size that makes the people who find me beautiful feel that way, so it seems like linking the size and the attribute a contrived pairing to somehow make the second B applicable to the first. What if I were big and a wretched person whose ugly heart showed on her face? Beauty is not related to size. I know psycho bitches of every size and shape.

W~ this is the one part of the label I will gladly accept. I am indeed a woman. There are a zillion features both external and personality-wise that comprise what type of woman and to limit it to saying BBW does who I am an injustice.

I think when describing one's appearance they often find it easy to say ..."I'm a BBW." it rids you of many insensitive types immediately and attracts the people who don't view size as an important factor in beauty. I don't have an issue with it being used and think people should labels themselves with what ever they are comfortable with or not. Those two Bs just would not be my first choice to connect with the W when describing me.
