Personal trainer calling fat people "repulsive"

There has been a video circulating around the internet of a personal trainer calling fat people "repulsive".
Now as a fat person myself I have a few things to say:
-You have no right to insult fat people as a whole. 
-If you find that fat people aren't aesthetically pleasing that is your personal view and your problem, so don't try to make it our problem.
-Stop concern trolling. We know you give no shits about our health and you're using it as an excuse to insult us.
-It's none of your fucking business how much we weight.
-It's not of your fucking business what and how much we eat. We're not eating your food ffs.
-Not all fat people eat unhealthily.
-Some fat people do run, go to the gym, swim etc.
-Some fat people don't exercise and it's their right not to. It's up to them, not up to you.
-Just because we're fat that doesn't give you the right to make assumptions about our lifestyle.
-Condemning people who eat unhealthily can also be classism as not everyone can afford to pay to eat healthy.
-Some people can't lose weight. Yes, they can't even if they try.
-Fat people aren't lazy. People's weight is irrelevant to them being lazy.
-Fat people owe you no explanation. The fact that you feel entitled to question us on our eating habits or lifestyle shows your thin privilege and your rudeness.
-Not every fat person wants to lose weight. And they shouldn't have to if they don't want to.
-There are fat people who love their bodies.
-You CAN be fat and happy.
-You CAN be fat and healthy.
Lastly, if you still think you have the right to insult us, or any other right on us, you can fuck off.

Females of the world

To any person who identifies as female:

-You do NOT need to get "dolled up" to be sexy, beautiful, attractive.

This phrase, "dolled up", is extremely harmful in my eyes.
Not only does it imply that you have to reach some unattainable standards of beauty (looking like a doll), but it also implies you are a doll, a toy and not a human being.
And by no means are you less of a woman if you don't get "dolled up".

-You do NOT need to fake being confident to attract anyone. It would be good to be confident for you, not for someone else. Because when you're confident you embrace your being and you feel comfortable in your own skin.

-You do NOT have to feel antagonistic towards other females. You do NOT need to be "prettier", "sexier" etc as this male dominated society forces you to believe. Plus prettiness and sexiness can be translated in different ways. Just be you and don't stress about how other people look like.

-You do NOT have to conform to that little box that patriarchy throws at you. You don't have to look a specific way, and you certainly don't have to try anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.You do NOT need to lose/gain weight, go under the knife, get botox/injections etc... You can if you want, but please do it for you not due to society's pressure on you. 

-Your femininity and how you express it is your business solely and no one has the right to dictate how it is manifested.

-You only need to do what you want to do for YOU!
