You Just Need to Lose Weight: And 19 Other Myths about Fat People by Aubrey Gordon

challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Aubrey Gordon does it again! As a fat person, listening to this book healed parts of my own anti-fat biases towards myself, and towards the fat community. I highly recommend this book to everyone, but definitely more to people who are passionate about human rights and social justice, and to those who haven’t had the chance to unpack their own anti-fat bias/fatphobia yet. The format was really digestible, and I really appreciated that every chapter included reflection questions, as well as actions readers/listeners can take to fight for fat justice. I BEG OF YOU TO READ THIS-- especially if you have a fat friend or family member, provide medical or mental health treatment to fat folks, or if you tell yourself “I don’t mind fatness in others, I just don’t want to be fat myself.”
