I’m so excited to welcome Ragen Chastain to the conversation. Ragen is a fat queer activist, speaker, and writer. Today we’ll go in depth about fatphobia in medical care, including:

Medical professionals practicing stereotypes instead of medicine
The basis of fatphobia in the oppression of black and indigenous bodies
Why BMI is bullshit
How implicit bias can become explicit bias
How to talk to doctors about diagnoses and treatments

Weight stigma is not your fault, even if it has become your problem.
