Interpreting While Fat: Access, Identity, and Marginalization of Interpreters of Size

from Parking Lot Debrief · host Parking Lot Debrief: Real talk for ASL Interpreters

This week, I talked with Windy about being a fat interpreter—and what it means to show up in a field and a society that often sees our bodies before our skills.We dig into: 🔹 Fatness as identity, not insult 🔹 Micro/macro aggressions on the job 🔹 The emotional + physical labor of taking up space 🔹 Biases in hiring, teaming, and “professionalism”It’s real, raw, and long overdue.Fat interpreters exist—and shouldn’t have to be exceptional just to be accepted.Deaf Spotlight: Laurie Landry (artist) - https://laurielandry.com/
