What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon

caseythereader's review against another edition

- Everything from fatcalling to open bias from healthcare providers is covered in this book. Gordon makes it absolutely clear how being fat influences everything she does and how virtually every single person interacts with her, usually not in a positive way.
- Anti-fat bias is so ingrained in our culture (and getting worse, according to this book), and Gordon lays out the multifaceted approach we need to take to uproot it and make life accepting and accessible for all bodies.

Aubrey Gordon has written a thorough, compelling and very well researched book about the harm of fatphobia and fat-hate. An incredible book that forces readers to reckon with the ways that society consistently and totally oppresses people for the mere fact of existing in fat bodies. A book that forces thin people to understand themselves as both beneficiaries of institutional fat-hate, but also the ways in which fatphobia harms them too. A book that demands we do better for fat folks, and challenges us to radically change the way we look at bodies, fatness, health and worth.
Absolutely phenomenal.
