#245: Body Positivity vs Fat Liberation ...

Summer Innanen
About this episode

I’m joined by Ingrid R. Pipes, National Certified Counselor, who is fat, queer, gender non-conforming, and neuro-divergent. We talk about how being neuro-divergent informed Ingrid’s relationship with her body, the difference between body positivity and fat liberation (and why we need more fat liberation), and why “trauma healing” as a form of weight loss is fake news.

Show notes: summerinnanen.com/245 If you leave a review during the month of October 2022, then I’ll send you a free audio and e-book copy of my best-selling book Body Image Remix. Email or DM me telling me that you left a review and I’ll send you the link. In this episode, I talk about: - Ingrid’s relationship with her body growing up, - How being neuro-divergent helped protect them as a child, - That body positivity has become digestible and dominated by straight-size people, - That fat liberation is an intersectional movement that supports dismantling social stigma, - That influencers who promote trauma healing as a form of weight loss are preying on people’s insecurities, - Why weight loss is not a therapy goal, - Plus so much more!
