摘要
由FaT GiRL圆桌会议提供信息:FaT GiRL: A Zine for FaT Dykes and the Women Who Want Them,一群来自不同种族、阶级、年龄、残疾和地域的美国酷儿和变性脂肪活动家,其中一些与酷儿和变性脂肪解放组织Nolose成员有联系或在社区中,讨论脂肪活动。讨论的行动主义包括滑稽剧工作、社区组织、日常人际交往工作、高等教育工作、组织或资助社区活动、脂肪文化创造、锻炼,以及在线和面对面的互助和教育。参与者提到了导致他们成为肥胖活动家的关系和事件,并谈到了肥胖活动家面临的挑战,包括胖人可以变成瘦人的普遍信念、种族主义和性别歧视、内化的压迫、“身体积极性”(body positive),将超胖者和有色人种排除在外,并以体型较小的白人顺性别女性为中心。其中包括西德尼·刘易斯博士的诗“冒名顶替综合症”。与会者还讨论了行动的机会,肥胖活动家的强大而有效的战略和战术,以及交叉激进的肥胖行动主义的可能未来;其中包括互助性在线组织、以黑人肥胖女性和政治为中心的肥胖解放分析、多种可访问的组织方式、文化和关系工作相结合的组织方式。
A conversation about fat activism among activists in community with Nolose
ABSTRACT Informed by the FaT GiRL Roundtables in FaT GiRL: A Zine for Fat Dykes and the Women Who Want Them, a group of US-based queer and transgender fat activists from diverse races, classes, ages, disabilities, and geographies, some associated with or in community with members of the queer and transgender fat liberation organization, Nolose, discuss fat activism. Activism discussed includes work in burlesque, community organizing, daily interpersonal work, work in higher education, organizing or funding community events, fat culture-making, exercise, and both online and in-person mutual aid and education. Participants raise relationships and events that led them to become fat activists, and talk about challenges in fat activism including the widespread belief that fat people can become thin people, racism and cissexism, internalized oppression, “body positivity” decentering superfat people and people of color and centering smaller white cisgender women. Included is the poem “Impostor Syndrome” by Dr. Sydney Lewis. Participants also talk about opportunities for action, powerful and effective strategies and tactics of fat activists, and possible futures of intersectional radical fat activism; these include mutual aid online organizing, centering Black fat femme people and politics in fat liberation analysis, multiple accessible ways of organizing, and organizing both with cultural and relationship-based work.
