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

challenging informative medium-paced

5.0

This book will hopefully challenge your worldview, even if you are, in the books terminology, a small fat person. Aubrey Gordon presents a frank look on how fatphobia impacts pretty much everything in a fat person's life, and how intersectionality compounds these impacts. This is NOT a body positivity or body acceptance book, this is factual look at how our societal bias against fat people impacts them and all of society.
