We dive into the hidden history of fatphobia, tracing its roots from Renaissance art's body ideals to its intersection with racism and colonialism. We discover how these historical undercurrents shape modern attitudes, including their impact within the queer community as we advocate for body neutrality and inclusivity. Tune in for a compelling journey that challenges norms and redefines our perception of all bodies.
