Podcast Episode 27: Permission to Stay Fat
<p>A print version of this essay is available <a target="_blank" href="https://kellyrafferty.substack.com/">here</a>.</p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Produced and Engineered by Lisa Weaklim</p><p>Written by Kelly Rafferty</p><p>Music by <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2vqpJdaLWocM8CUjdKBugt?si=uAN9DB4lSeCwCDIimwXCZQ">Mutt</a></p><p>Notes</p><p><strong>Ragen Chastain</strong>Ragen writes Weight and Healthcare, a research-packed newsletter “examining weight science, weight stigma, and what evidence, ethics, and lived experience teach us about best healthcare and public health practices for higher weight people.” Regan has been doing this for a long time and is a national treasure. She has covered the science and marketing of weight loss drugs extensively. Start with Ragen’s work if you want to know what the drugs are and what the research actually says. Here are some highlights:</p><p><strong>Virgie Tovar </strong>The title of this essay is a play on Virgie Tovar’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.feministpress.org/books-n-z/you-have-the-right-to-remain-fat">You Have the Right to Remain Fat</a>. She’s another longtime fat activist, writer, and trusted resource with a newsletter here on Substack. This smart, heartfelt piece is behind a paywall and well worth the subscription:</p><p><strong>Chrissy King’s The Liberation Collective</strong>Chrissy has created The Liberation Collective, a space here on Substack for “body liberation, personal liberation, and collective liberation.” The title of this first piece is the perfect mantra for this moment:</p><p>This second piece is a round up of excellent books by Black women that will help us stand up to this moment while also tending to our relationship with our bodies and nourishment:</p><p><strong>Frankie de la Cretaz</strong> Frankie’s newsletter, Out of Your League, covers the intersection of queer sports and pop culture. It’s smart, funny, and consistently ahead of the curve. I’ve cited Frankie’s work here before, and they’ve hit it out of the park, yet again, with this coverage of the way ads for weight loss drugs are showing up in women’s sports:</p><p>Tell me what permission means to you! What does it do or not do for you? Tell me about a time when permission changed you. Tell me about other counter-programming you’re finding helpful as we weather this particularly hateful, anti-fat time. I want to know.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Fancy Meeting You Here at <a href="https://kellyrafferty.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">kellyrafferty.substack.com/subscribe</a>
