What is Dimensions Online?
Dimensions Online is the web site of Dimensions Magazine, a size-positive lifestyle magazine that has been published for almost two decades. The website is free for all. You do not need to be a subscriber to the print version of Dimensions, though that would certainly help us to continue providing this site for free. What do you mean by “size-positive”? Dimensions originated as the newsletter of a “special interest group” of NAAFA, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. NAAFA, which was founded in 1969, fights against the discrimination fat people are subjected to in our society. One special interest group was for men who actually prefer fat partners. Dimensions was created to be a newsletter and then magazine for those who love fat women. What do all of those abbreviations mean? Like most groups and sub-cultures, the size acceptance movement and Dimensions has its own set of special terms and abbreviations. • SA – “Size Acceptance” – a civil rights movement started in 196
