In today's episode, we touch on desirability and how it is both affected by (and a product of) social influences. What happens when fat people have poor media representation? What happens to all those negative feelings about fatness and what are the implications of those biases? Should fat people be worthy of not just basic decency and respect but love and intimacy? 

Welcome to the intro episode! Today we discuss an overview of weight stigma as it relates to my own personal experience. We briefly touch on the ways in which the diet & medical industry, as well as a culture  obsessed with weight, impact the lives of fat folks.
