Fat Shame, by Laci Green (sex+)
In this video I talk about fat shame and 3 ways to push back against it. The first way is to stop viewing/using “fat” as a bad word. The second way is to get real about what it means to be healthy & to own up to using “health” as an excuse to continue to fat shame. The third way is to love your body.

"Even if all fat people are the way they are due to their bad choices, even if every single fat person is unhealthy, that does not justify sub-standard treatment. How can the health of strangers possibly inspire such vitriol? If you remain convinced that others’ bodies are your business and people must justify their existence to you, perhaps you should consider the possibility that you are an arsehole."
