Yet Another Kiri Bloggish Thing: Uh IDK my thoughts on HAES and stuff
Like I think HAES does important shit because so much of fat discrimination is based in the idea that fat = unhealthy and it’s definitely really important to break down that myth. But at the same time I wish there was an equally powerful fat-posi force…
There’s a great book called Against Health and I went to an awesome panel about this very topic this summer at NOLOSE! I will never be healthy because I have two chronic diseases, and I also happen to be fat, but I’m no less of a person because I’m a fat, unhealthy person who just ate cookie dough for dinner. :)
:D
