From The Creator Of Your Fat Friend And Cohost Of The Maintenance Phase Podcast, An Explosive Indictment Of The Systemic And Cultural Bias Facing Plussize People.Antifatness Is Everywhere. In What We Dont Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon Unearths The Cultural Attitudes And Social Systems That Have Led To People Being Denied Basic Needs Because They Are Fat And Calls For Social Justice Movements To Be Inclusive Of Plussized Peoples Experiences. Unlike The Recent Wave Of Memoirs And Quasi Selfhelp Books That Encourage Readers To Love And Accept Themselves, Gordon Pushes The Discussion Further Towards Authentic Fat Activism, Which Includes Ending Legal Weight Discrimination, Giving Equal Access To Health Care For Large People, Increased Access To Public Spaces, And Ending Antifat Violence. As She Argues, I Did Not Come To Body Positivity For Selfesteem. I Came To It For Social Justice.By Sharing Her Experiences As Well As Those Of Othersfrom Smaller Fat To Very Fat Peopleshe Concludes That To Be Fat In Our Society Is To Be Seen As An Undeniable Failure, Unlovable, Unforgivable, And Morally Condemnable. Fatness Is An Open Invitation For Others To Express Disgust, Fear, And Insidious Concern. To Be Fat Is To Be Denied Humanity And Empathy. Studies Show That Fat Survivors Of Sexual Assault Are Less Likely To Be Believed And Less Likely Than Their Thin Counterparts To Report Various Crimes; 27% Of Very Fat Women And 13% Of Very Fat Men Attempt Suicide; Over 50% Of Doctors Describe Their Fat Patients As Awkward, Unattractive, Ugly And Noncompliant; And In 48 States, Its Legaleven Routineto Deny Employment Because Of An Applicants Size.Advancing Fat Justice And Changing Prejudicial Structures And Attitudes Will Require Work From All People. What We Dont Talk About When We Talk About Fat Is A Crucial Tool To Create A Tectonic Shift In The Way We See, Talk About, And Treat Our Bodies, Fat And Thin Alike.
