I’m so excited to welcome Ragen Chastain to the conversation. Ragen is a fat queer activist, speaker, and writer. Today we’ll go in depth about fatphobia in medical care, including:

• Medical professionals practicing stereotypes instead of medicine
• The basis of fatphobia in the oppression of black and indigenous bodies
• Why BMI is bullshit
• How implicit bias can become explicit bias
• How to talk to doctors about diagnoses and treatments

Weight stigma is not your fault, even if it has become your problem.
