“You Just Need to Lose Weight”: And 19 Other Myths About Fat People by Aubrey Gordon
5.0
excellent. i've read a couple of books on anti-fat bias and still learned a lot from this one; but it also seems like a good place to start if someone is just beginning their exploration.
the book felt very balanced to me. some chapters are fact-heavy, perfect for fighting, say, medical prejudice. but then other chapters made me face my own bias in a way that i did not expect. i'm mid size, and listening pushed me to consider my privilege and where my place is within the fat liberation movement.
