Trans Fat: Lessons from Large Trans & Nonbinary Folks [redux]

We take a large bite out of fat trans folk’s experiences & unearth some incredible lessons about desire, wellness, design, language, love and so much more. In December of 2022, the Midwest Institute for Sexuality & Gender Diversity hosted the 6th annual Transgender Justice Teach-In and invited TK Morton, Dr. Jonathan Higgins, and Shane Smoore to participate in a discussion about the intersections of being fat, trans, and nonbinary. This episode is the recording from that live webinar. Additional Resources & ReferencesCheck out the YouTube recording & learn more about the panelists of the 6th annual Transgender Justice Teach-InVirginia Sole-Smith, host of the Burnt Toast podcast, chats with NPR about her new book Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet CultureImani Barbarin aka Crutches&Spice stitches a clip of Ali C.
