How Bad Must It Be?
This week we’re talking about Amanda Lee, the TikTok creator who posted about her experience with a fatphobic gastrointestinal medical specialist. We break down the incident that happened to her as well as the problematic way that her interview for The Today Show was framed.
We answer a listener question about a couple who takes a break, then chooses to get back together and has some resentment leftover.
Stay until the end where Hailey talks about how she discovered the modern medical marvel of cough drops.
Episode highlights:
“How bad must it be for the people who are more marginalized than her.”
“I’m ready to be at a point where people are going to take this shit seriously.”
“Absolutely gender bias is a real thing, but…”
“Not only is it dismissive to all fat people, but it’s dismissive to what happened to Amanda.”
“We’re clearly not in a society yet that is willing to have empathy for fat people.”
“You shouldn’t have to have cancer for this to matter.”
“Why do we need a mental health diagnosis for fat people?”
“No, stress causes fatness, you dumbass.”
“She shouldn’t have to have a cancer diagnosis to get invited to do this interview.”
“It doesn’t matter what label we put on it, this is a thing that broke trust in the relationship.”
“I understand how you could get 2 years into a crappy situation and still be there because of extenuating circumstances.”
“I’m not going to be permissive to the guy who told you that you were ‘cuntsplaining’.”
“I thought cough drops were a scam … my whole world has changed.”
