The Stigmatisation of Weight Loss Surgery

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 17:00:32 GMT

As someone that's lived in a fat body for most of my life, I've always wondered about weight loss surgery. However, I never felt like I could talk about my curiosities with the plus size community without judgement. So on today's show I brought on two guests who've both recently had weight loss surgery. We spoke about the (positive, negative, surprising) side effects of the procedure and how there continues to be a stigma surrounding weight loss surgery.

**This episode contains discussions surrounding weight loss, body image issues and disordered eating. If any of these conversations are triggering please contact The Butterfly Foundation at 1800 33 4673 or visit their website for helpful resources at butterfly.org.au .**

Our Fat Thoughts On Brendan Fraser and 'The Whale'

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 18:00:57 GMT

Why are we still using fat suits in film? Is ‘The Whale’ really that offensive to the plus size community? And would this movie be deemed more offensive and problematic if the leading character wasn’t someone as likeable as Brendan Fraser?

Fatphobia in Theatre

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 18:00:38 GMT

Why is the musical theatre so behind in size diversity? Is the world actually becoming more progressive or are we nearing the end of the ‘woke’ era? And why are plane seats still so small and only catered to thin people?

What's it like being a plus size person in the fitness industry? Can one ever be *GASP* fit AND fat? And why is the older generation obsessed with fat shaming us?

The Toxic Work Culture of City Chic

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 18:00:13 GMT

What's it really like working for one of the most well-known brands in Australia's plus size community? Why is the company looking to size down rather than provide larger sizes? And most importantly... does City Chic actually care about the plus size community?

City Chic, Dangerfield, Bras N Things - We Need To Talk!

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 18:00:54 GMT

Has fashion giant CityChic lost their way? Why did Dangerfield suddenly rid their plus size range? Can a brand really be size inclusive if they only use plus size models with flat stomachs?
