I was so excited to participate in the UCLA Body Liberation Series and I’m even more excited to be able to share links to both my talk and some of the other amazing talks in this series. This talk gave me an opportunity to zoom in on the way gender norms posit implicit duties of nonfatness for people of all genders, and how that works for people approaching navigating gender transition. If you want to read more about my work on antifatness and transition, there will also be a chapter on this part of my work in the forthcoming volume of Advances in Gender Research which should be out in November of this year.
I’m really pleased that UCLA asked me for permission to record my talk and that they’re making these videos available beyond the UCLA community. It’s really important to me to be able to make my work as available as possible, because a lot of people who need access to research and educational materials don’t have the funding to buy access to it.
If you’d like to support my work and help me make things available as widely as possible, share my work with friends and colleagues! You can also support my work financially by making a one-time donation at ko-fi or (brand new!) by joining my Patreon. There’s reward tiers tailored for individual, clinician, and organizational patrons.
Thanks for being here, and I’d love to know what you think of the UCLA talks!
