Om at være i verden som tyk, sort og queer og hvordan man kan være allieret i kampen mod tykfobi - Da'Shaun L. Harrison for them.:
"People who are not required to think about how much space their body takes up, whether their body will keep them from experiencing romantic love, whether they will log onto social media to see that their fat body is the joke of the week, or whether they will even be able to find clothes that fit them, have few to no ties to these experiences. But anti-fatness — be it cultural, interpersonal, or systemic — is a pervasive problem that non-fat people should be focused on fighting against.
The blame for fat people’s insecurities and hardships does not rest on fat people; the onus is not on us to end the dehumanization and stigma around fatness and fat people’s bodies. Fat people are not required to apologize for our bodies, nor should we be expected to alter them for any reason. We should not be forced to deprive ourselves of basic human needs — like breathing and eating in public — and social lives for the sake of our safety and our wellbeing. This means that non-fat people have a responsibility to wrestle with their anti-fatness."
