Fat Harm: The Medical Model of Fatness

How can we convince healthcare providers to examine the harm they cause when they tell fat people to lose weight and deny us care? It can be pretty hard to realize that you haven’t been providing evidence-based care so it’s a challenge! That’s where the work of the disability community comes in with their medical and social models of disability. This lets us communicate how medicalizing fatness is not helpful in the same way it’s not helpful for many in the disability community. Alongside that, let’s talk about harm reduction ideas! We’re getting deep today, come join me :)

Ozempic (Wegovy) 3 Years On

Almost 2 years ago I released a 2 part podcast on Wegovy and so I think it’s time for an update! Is it true that semaglutide shows reduced cardiac event risk? What have been people’s experiences? Is everyone on it now and have we “cured” fatness?? Let's dive in!

Ozempic (Wegovy) 3 Years On

About the BBC show "Who Are You Calling Fat?"

About the BBC show "Who Are You Calling Fat?"

Today is the day for the first episode of "Who Are You Calling Fat" on BBC 2 at 9pm.

I am super excited for you to tune in and see some radical fat positivity! If you're not in the UK, I'm sorry, you probably can't see the show for a while, sad face.

Disclaimer: there are fatphobic fat people in the house and so you will be exposed to fatphobia. Don't watch if this triggers you. Although they are not aggressively fatphobic, just run of the mill bigotry.

I and the show have been getting a lot of attention from the press. 

I am the "polarizing" character.

We hear all the time that the British press make up stories and lie, and I believed it, but now I see it in action and it's BANANAS!

Some articles have been coming out that totally misrepresent my views.

Also, the show is edited in a way to cut core issues down to soundbites (because they have to for time purposes), and people will take what they want from that.

Some will take from it that:

  1. I don't care about health and people who do are bad

  2. I think people who diet or have stomach amputation surgery are bad people

  3. I don't think that there is any chance fat people can ever get diabetes

  4. I don't believe in any weight-related science

  5. I am a narcissist/arrogant/egotistical for thinking my body is ok/good/attractive

  6. Intuitive eating = being greedy and eating "unhealthy" food all the time

Health and Weight are not Correlated: Here's What I Mean

Health and Weight are not Correlated: Here's What I Mean

What some people think I mean when I say this (but I definitely don't mean): Fat people never get fat! It's impossible for fat people to get diabetes! There is zero chance fat people are at a higher risk for certain diseases! I'm irrational and don't believe in science!! Bleeuahhglohgksk!!!
