I don’t have permission to use their name so I’m going to keep them anonymous, but this BLEW MY MIND.

Is it surprising that being overweight in and of itself doesn’t kill you? It isn’t to me. Very many unhealthy fat people...

About

Margitte. 27. PhD student. Fat activist.

When I’m not reading convoluted academic theory until my eyes water, I am working to uncover anti-fat biases in media representations of the fat body and examine the many intersectionalities of fat identity. I am also interested in research on fat activism, the histories of body regulation, and articulating fat culture.

Check out my academic blog here.

Fat, feminist, queer, anti-racist, mixed race but white privileged, anti-ableist, anti-patriarchy, pro-humanity, pro-choice, proud, happy, beautiful, smart. FUCK NORMATIVITY. <3 SOCIAL JUSTICE.

I love fashion, the fat-o-sphere, pop culture, and activism. I’ll probably write about all of these things.

I hate... haters.
