Some healthcare professionals are nice. Some would go so far as to call themselves “body positive" or “HAES aligned”. But being pleasant doesn't make you safe for fat patients. There's a crucial difference between practitioners who are steadfastly kind while perpetuating harm, and those who actively work to counter medical weight bias. In this episode, I expose why often times anti-diet isn't enough, how well-meaning professionals can cause more damage than obvious bigots, and why fat people are trapped in an endless cycle of seeking help, getting weight loss advice, and avoiding care until they're desperate. I challenge anti-diet practitioners to move beyond good intentions and actually do the work to become weight-inclusive. Plus, I debunk the dangerous myths about anaesthesia safety that are used to deny fat people surgery.
