They invite listeners to reexamine how fatness is framed in everyday language, media, and even healthcare—challenging the idea that body size should dictate value, morality, or health.
They also explore the emotional toll of internalized fat shame and how gender norms further complicate the relationship many people have with their bodies.
Through a body-neutral lens, they share how we can start to unlearn deeply embedded biases and move toward acceptance of fat as simply a physical descriptor—nothing more, nothing less.
