I'm so grateful to the engagement with the sources yesterday, you're all awesome!

In part one, the pieces were more identity focused, today I'm posting for specific facets of fatphobia that may be of interest.

As a reminder, these fall in the area of Fat Studies and there's some norms you should be aware of:

  • "obese" arbitrarily medicalises fatness and Others fat people
