CHAPTER

Unpacking Body Positivity and Fatphobia

This chapter critically examines the shifting attitudes towards body positivity and the persistent stigma against fatness in modern culture. It highlights the emotional and societal repercussions of equating thinness with virtue and the intersectionality of fatphobia with issues of race and class. Through discussions of historical context, present-day implications, and the need for solidarity among marginalized groups, the episode challenges the dominant narratives around body image and acceptance.
