The problem with Trans Fats? featuring Ross Anderson-Doherty
Listen now
Description
Episode 8 features yet another one of Asher's amazing friends (yes, they are starting to boast a little, and it is getting annoying).  This time it's Ross Anderson Doherty, who is a performer, teacher and director of the Cabaret Supper Club in the heart of Belfast.  You may know them from their instagram account @craicwithrossy, which is where Asher first fell in love with them.  Together they share their love of Jessica Wilson's book "IT’S ALWAYS BEEN OURS: REWRITING THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN'S BODIES" (as much as any two fat white non binary Wilson fans can) as well as a host of other important issues. Together Ross and Asher discuss some of the complexities of navigating the world in FAT TRANS bodies, proving that the best kind of fat has always been the trans fat (it's just got a bit of a bad reputation is all).  If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support Asher so that they can continue making them, you can join them on Patreon. If you fancy connecting with other like-minded people in a safe and non judgmental environment, then why not join their Facebook group the ‘Friends of The Fat Doctor’? You can also check out their webiste or find them on all the usual social media channels including Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok.
