More Than Tracy Turnblad

Abby and Luz are joined by model and fat activist Jordan Underwood (he/they) to discuss weight changes and the intersection of ableism and fatphobia. Jordan shares about his lipidema journey, from massive weight gain to massive weight loss. We also touch on tumblr-era body positivity, being illiterate, dancing on the internet, and Brookline. We had such a long, in-depth conversation that we've decided to split it into two parts, so the second half of our chat will be out next week!

***This episode contains discussions of medical fatphobia and eating disorders, including calorie and weight numbers.***
