Totally agree. I'm still very early in my recovery from diet culture and learning to eat intuitively. The more I learn, the more I realize my body is just fine. The cognitive dissonance I feel comes from living in a body that's deemed unacceptable by most of society. The bias is what needs to change.
So excited to have pre-ordered. I will forget that I have done so and know I will be thrilled next January to have it arrive in my mailbox! I follow many, many folks involved in the fat liberation sphere and have been so excited to start following your work — you have introduced a new way of thinking about weight stigma due to your philosophy discipline. I don’t know how I first found your Substack (likely from Burnt Toast), but I am glad that I did!
Down girl changed my life. I love, absolutely love, your work and your mind and writing. For deeply personal reasons I am excited for this book, and for loving to learn from you I am excited for this book.

"Our bodies are not objects for colonization or comparison or consumption." YESSSSSSSSS
Congratulations - I can't wait to read this! Just pre-ordered :)
Kate, I CANNOT WAIT to read this! (And the cover is 🔥.)
I really like that idea of body reflexivity -- "your body is for you, my body is for me"!
