Aubrey does a good job of calling out systems of oppression, as well as individual complicities and microagressions that harm marginalized communities. She challenges who and what we center in society, and asks the reader to consider their reactions to being at times decentered.
What do we think of, or assume, when we think about fat people? What feelings does the word "fat" emotionally conjure in us? What about seeing a fat person? Ought we to interrogate those assumptions and feelings, granting dignity and respect to every human? How often do we actually listen to fat people and believe them at face value, or center their voices about their own bodies and experiences?
This will be a book I revisit again, especially Myth 16, 19, and 20.

Explicitly talks about the experiences of fat people and direct and indirect fat-bias/fat-based discrimination. Please sit in the discomfort of reflection. Those with past eating disorders or body dysmorphia may want to proceed with caution-do what is best for you.opossumble's review against another edition
