Of course, there’s a breadth of experience of feeling the world’s resistance to this, both from a fat prejudice and shaming perspective, and because it’s destabilizing for people. Me standing at a microphone in this body talking about what healthy food is and how people should eat creates lots of dissonance in people’s minds, as it challenges their existing notions of good health, and who the experts are. What grows from this though, is the idea of my own internal conflict, the disconnect between the inside and outside versions of me, and the fact that my personal is inextricably political. And even further, there was a moment a few years ago when I realized that my hesitation about not feeling entitled to have an opinion about healthy eating (and share it publicly), was actually standing in the way of the growth of the revolution that I’m trying to wage. If I absorbed all of everyone else’s opinions about being a fat person talking about health, I’d likely retreat, and cash in my chips. I had to reconcile the versions of me that exist here, and reject the hateful shame that this world constantly dumps on me. I had to decide to choose my own truth over other people’s bullshit, and the terrible ways that they decide to lay it on me.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"1 4 1","pages":"9 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82799326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fat fem(me)inine bisexual women experience hyper-visibility in their fatness and hyper-invisibility in their fem(me)inine and queer identities; their concurrent violations of dominant norms of thinness, heterosexuality, monosexism, and expectations of queer women’s gender expression (as masculine) position them as uniquely and multiply marginalized. Literature on these women’s experiences of fat gendered embodiment is lacking but could inform understandings of mechanisms of multiple marginalization. In a sample of 188 bisexual women (61% White; M age = 27), we examined relationships between bisexual women’s self-perceived femininity/masculinity, reports of how others perceive their femininity/masculinity (i.e., meta-perceptions), and their body size. We hypothesized that bisexual women’s self-reported gender expression would not correlate with body size, but that meta-perceptions of bisexual women’s gender expression would. Specifically, we expected others to perceive fatter bisexual women as more masculine given the association of fatness with masculinity and butch lesbians. We found that both self-perceived and meta-perceptions of gender expression were generally unrelated to body size, whether measured via BMI or self-perception. However, moderation analyses revealed that when bisexual women were perceived as sexual minorities, increased BMI was related to decreased meta-perceptions of femininity. The present results suggest perceived sexual orientation may be an important factor in understanding how fatness, gender expression, and sexuality interact to produce the multiple marginalization faced by bisexual women. We discuss the need for closer examination of bisexual women’s experiences of oppression at the intersection of fatness and fem(me)ininity.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"33 1","pages":"100 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87132652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But dressing the body in ways that produce and embody one’s own understanding of gender is challenging for fat bodies because they have limited or no choice of available clothing sizes and styles. As a result, finding clothes that produce and embody fat people’s desired gender identities and expressions tends to be a source of struggle. This article tells a different story. Drawing on interviews and participatory photography, we use madison moore’s theory of “fabulousness” to explore how six fat, curvy and thick-identified people of diverse gender and fat embodiments create their gender and fat identities through their favorite fashion object. We also explore how participatory photography allows our participants and research team to co-create new understandings of fat, gender and fashion. Our work centers participants’ pleasure from finding and wearing clothing that produces and embodies their desired gender and fat identities, but participants also share how risk is inescapable when they dress their bodies in their favorite pieces in the social world. We argue that our participants practice “fabulousness” because their embodied dressing leads them to experience both pleasure and risk by stretching dominant understandings of gender and fat. Our findings contribute to fat studies and fashion studies by introducing underrepresented experiences of gender and weight, demonstrating how participatory photography generates more layered understandings of gender, fat and embodied dressing, and revealing the possibilities of fabulousness to connect both fields.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"1940 1","pages":"301 - 317"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87754736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike many descriptions of dieters’ experiences from their own points of view, this article examines WW’s corporate perception of dieters’ time as evidenced in its Instagram publications. We argue that WW presents to its online audience a dual conception of dieters’ time, in which the present is both missing and at the same time present in hyperfocus. It is missing in that the fat body is seen as an obstruction to a life of fulfillment and happiness, as merely a step on the way to unlocking one’s true potential via thinness; it is present in hyperfocus in that the monitoring and disciplining of the body through the program’s point system requires constant vigilance and preoccupation with food and eating. Since, as the research indicates, the promise that dieting will result in a thin body is rarely realized, dieters are thus left in a cycle of dissatisfaction, an existence taken over by calculations, and a perpetual state of expectation and waiting.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"184 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82665047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identities once not regarded as identities at all but as neutral givens, such as maleness, whiteness, cisnormativity, heterosexuality, abledness, and settlerhood, have all become politicized planes of analysis and action. Yet little scholarship, praxis, and activism has held people with thin privilege accountable for the role they play in fueling the fires of fatphobia in the day to day. Even while fat studies and fat activisms have worked to dismantle fatphobia, thin people have rarely been asked to play pivotal roles in dismantling fatphobic worldviews. In this piece, we draw on anti-racist feminism, disability studies, and fat activism to think about what it might take to become a fat ally. Grounded in our collaborative corporeality as a (very) fat and (very) thin person, we hone the method of research-practice in this part theoretical essay and part action zine. Specifically, we argue that for fat allyhood to be possible, allies need to hone anti- rather than non-fatphobic commitments and practices grounded in what Mia Mingus frames as “access intimacy.”","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"74 1","pages":"297 - 311"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88167821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
