"Don't say fat": Ninna on fat activism, fatphobia and allyship
from The Fat Psychologist · host Ninna Makrinov
Ninna talks about the history of fat activism, fat liberation, fat positivity and body neutrality. She considers all the aims that all these movements share. For the newbies, Ninna talks about some of the lingo used in the fat community and the terms she hates people using (spoiler alert: avoid overweight, plus size... and most definitely ban "morbidly obese"). She delves into research that demonstrate the discrimination faced by fat people, how we are perceived and the income gap we face. She calls us all to be activists, because there is hope that fat bias can be reduced and hopefully eliminated.
