hi all. sound off in the replies with names of fat people you learn about fat politics from on here who are not white. i’m trying to see sumn.
love these names. hoping that one day more Black men, trans masc folks, and amab nonbinary folks join in on this work.
it’s really important to break up the “defer to white people about fat politics” complex that happens so often online.

anti-fatness is anti-Blackness, and what white folks know about anti-fatness comes from Black people—even if not directly. listen to and pay fat Black thinkers.
with that: i’m thankful for everyone who named me. honored. and also, i really hope that you follow some of the other folks named in this thread.

i should not be the only person you learn from.
