NOTES I TOOK WHILE READING
—To thin people, we reflect their bodies back to them: thinness made beautiful in proximity to the abject failure of our fatness
—Anti-fatness only serves to remind thin people of their perceived virtue.
—Can you love fat people enough to sacrifice your own comfort?
—Be defiant in the confidence you were never supposed to have.
—Anti-fatness demands that the only way to love your body is to be detached from it.
—We’ll have to advocate for ourselves even when it’s risky. It’s always risky. Step into courageous vulnerability.
