Summary
Over the past twelve months, respect for fat people has reached an all time low. With government schemes aiming to pin our coronavirus death toll on the plus size community; it feels like we’ve gone backwards when it comes to fat liberation.
For the final episode of this season of The Skin You’re In, we’re joined by our fave Honey Ross. The Polyester cover girl, writer, and podcaster will be telling us where she sees the current body positivity movement; from commodification, to the watering down of its politics, and what we can do next to ensure the fight doesn’t end up in flames.
