The Cambridge dictionary defines fatphobia as the “unreasonable dislike or unfair treatment of people because they are fat”. Going deeper, Fatphobia equates fatness with ugliness, inferiority, and immorality. Subjecting people to fat phobia or weight stigma can be very harmful, not just to people who are fat but also to anyone else who has been co-opted by a system that designates only one “correct” body size or weight. But is fatphobia also an intersectional issue or opression? How does it relate to race, disability, colonisation and enslavement? In this episode we'll be discussing fatphobia and its intersectionality with racism. To do so, we are going to talk to Caleb Luna, a writer, fat activist and professor in the US. We will also be hearing from Saskia Calliste, a black London-based writer. Tune into episode 15 now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello again, fupas!! In this episode, the fatties share their dream ice creams and explore the pronunciation possibilities of different nuts.

This week I am very excited to present an interview with Autumn (she/her/hers), who is an anarchist and scholar-activist, on Fat Liberation in all its many nuances, the pervasive, classist, racist, and colonial nature of fatphobia both in mainstream society and in far left spaces and thought, and the roots of Fat Liberation as a structure which originates and lives with Black, Indigenous, and brown, trans and disabled people. We also speak about Autumn's syllabus entitled “Fat Liberation Syllabus for Revolutionary Leftists: Confronting Fatphobia on the Left AND Liberalism within the Fat Liberation Movement”. In this document, she compiles writings on the many aspects of fatphobia and gives her own analysis in bulleted form. This document is available for public use, and you can find it at https://tinyurl.com/FatLiberation! To get in touch with Autumn, you can @abolishtheusa on Instagram.

In this episode, we talked about the long term impacts of childhood illness and confrontation with the fragility of the body, anti-fatness as a barrier for receiving medical care, how liberal folk's disdain for the south constitutes anti-blackness, their discovery of fat studies and the impact of survival sex work on their sense of self, the significance of mutual aid work in Da'Shaun's life, the limitations of academia as an institution and of course, their new brilliant book, Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness.

Scholars and Activists mentioned in this episode: Sabrina Strings (author of Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia), Sherronda J. Brown, Hunter Shackelford, Caleb Luna (@chairbreaker) and Aubrey Gordon (yrfatfriend). LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.

This week we talk about the legacy and power of Pink Triangle Day and its connection to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Drawing from the brilliant Caleb Luna's 2014 piece, "On Being Fat, Brown, Femme, Ugly and Unloveable," Shaya and Rebecca discuss how white supremacy is pervasive -- complicating and affecting romance, too. Pals and strangers in Halifax, Canada, and beyond share their odes, rants, and stories about radical friendship, online dating blunders, heartbreak, and the complexities of companionship.
