Aubrey Gordon—just say fat
Listen now
Description
Aubrey Gordon is a fat woman. She's not on a diet or trying to get thinner and that pisses some people off, but she's done apologising. This self-acceptance has been hard fought. All her life, Aubrey has had to swallow comments about her size from strangers and family alike. Like all of us, she was force-fed the idea that there is only one ideal body: a thin one. Aubrey's resistance started with her blog, Your Fat Friend, where she wrote about what it's like to live in the world as a fat person and dared to suggest that fat people deserve the same rights as everyone else. The blog touched a nerve, giving a voice to people who had been silenced and launched Aubrey’s public career. Aubrey is the co-host of the Maintenance Phase podcast, which calls b******t on the so-called wellness industry. Oh, and she has a laugh that fills up the room. Yumi and Aubrey talk about anti-fat bias, online hate and the myth of the perfect body.
