27. Medical Fatphobia with Ragen Chastain


Listen Later

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.
