ABSTRACT This is a story about my experience of delivering messages of health in a fat body. Of course, there’s a breadth of experience of feeling the world’s resistance to this, both from a fat prejudice and shaming perspective, and because it’s destabilizing for people. Me standing at a microphone in this body talking about what healthy food is and how people should eat creates lots of dissonance in people’s minds, as it challenges their existing notions of good health, and who the experts are. What grows from this though, is the idea of my own internal conflict, the disconnect between the inside and outside versions of me, and the fact that my personal is inextricably political. And even further, there was a moment a few years ago when I realized that my hesitation about not feeling entitled to have an opinion about healthy eating (and share it publicly), was actually standing in the way of the growth of the revolution that I’m trying to wage. If I absorbed all of everyone else’s opinions about being a fat person talking about health, I’d likely retreat, and cash in my chips. I had to reconcile the versions of me that exist here, and reject the hateful shame that this world constantly dumps on me. I had to decide to choose my own truth over other people’s bullshit, and the terrible ways that they decide to lay it on me.
这是一个关于我在肥胖的身体里传递健康信息的经历的故事。当然,有很多人都感受过这个世界对它的抵制,从肥胖偏见和羞辱的角度来看,因为它会破坏人们的稳定。我站在麦克风前谈论什么是健康食品,人们应该如何吃,这在人们的脑海中造成了很多不和谐,因为这挑战了他们现有的健康观念,以及谁是专家。由此产生的,是我内心冲突的想法,我的内在和外在版本之间的脱节,以及我个人不可避免地与政治有关的事实。更进一步说,几年前有那么一刻,我意识到我对自己没有资格对健康饮食发表意见(并公开分享)的犹豫,实际上阻碍了我正在努力推动的革命的发展。如果我在谈论健康时吸收了所有人关于我是一个胖子的观点,我可能会撤退,把我的筹码变现。我必须调和存在于这个世界上的我的不同版本,拒绝这个世界不断强加给我的可恨的耻辱。我必须决定选择我自己的真相,而不是别人的屁话,以及他们强加给我的可怕方式。

ABSTRACT Existing literature fails to address bisexual women’s experiences at the intersection of fem(me)ininity and fatness. Fat fem(me)inine bisexual women experience hyper-visibility in their fatness and hyper-invisibility in their fem(me)inine and queer identities; their concurrent violations of dominant norms of thinness, heterosexuality, monosexism, and expectations of queer women’s gender expression (as masculine) position them as uniquely and multiply marginalized. Literature on these women’s experiences of fat gendered embodiment is lacking but could inform understandings of mechanisms of multiple marginalization. In a sample of 188 bisexual women (61% White; M age = 27), we examined relationships between bisexual women’s self-perceived femininity/masculinity, reports of how others perceive their femininity/masculinity (i.e., meta-perceptions), and their body size. We hypothesized that bisexual women’s self-reported gender expression would not correlate with body size, but that meta-perceptions of bisexual women’s gender expression would. Specifically, we expected others to perceive fatter bisexual women as more masculine given the association of fatness with masculinity and butch lesbians. We found that both self-perceived and meta-perceptions of gender expression were generally unrelated to body size, whether measured via BMI or self-perception. However, moderation analyses revealed that when bisexual women were perceived as sexual minorities, increased BMI was related to decreased meta-perceptions of femininity. The present results suggest perceived sexual orientation may be an important factor in understanding how fatness, gender expression, and sexuality interact to produce the multiple marginalization faced by bisexual women. We discuss the need for closer examination of bisexual women’s experiences of oppression at the intersection of fatness and fem(me)ininity.
现有文献未能解决双性恋女性在fem(me)无穷大和肥胖交叉点的经历。肥胖fem(me)inine双性恋女性经历在他们的肥胖和超隐形在fem(me)inine和酷儿身份;他们同时违反了主流规范,如瘦弱、异性恋、单性恋,以及对酷儿女性性别表达(男性化)的期望,这使她们成为独特的、被多重边缘化的群体。关于这些女性肥胖性别化的经历的文献是缺乏的,但可以告知多重边缘化机制的理解。在188名双性恋女性样本中(61%是白人;(年龄= 27岁),我们研究了双性恋女性自我感知的女性气质/男性气质、他人如何感知她们的女性气质/男性气质(即元感知)和她们的体型之间的关系。我们假设双性恋女性自我报告的性别表达与体型无关,但对双性恋女性性别表达的元认知与体型相关。具体来说,我们希望其他人认为肥胖的双性恋女性更男性化,因为肥胖与男性气质和男性女同性恋有关。我们发现,无论是通过BMI还是自我认知来测量,性别表达的自我认知和元认知通常都与体型无关。然而,适度分析显示,当双性恋女性被视为性少数群体时,BMI的增加与女性气质的元认知下降有关。目前的研究结果表明,性取向感知可能是理解肥胖、性别表达和性行为如何相互作用导致双性恋女性面临多重边缘化的重要因素。我们讨论了需要更深入地研究双性恋女性在肥胖和fem(me) infinity的交叉点上遭受压迫的经历。

ABSTRACT Body diversity efforts have prompted greater numbers of fitness providers to modify spaces and facilities to welcome a wider clientele. I investigated how individuals engage in physical activity in a body-inclusive space. As a fat person, I embedded myself in a body inclusive yoga studio and relied heavily upon my own embodied experience. Adapting Samantha Kwan’s theory of “body privilege,” I observed how culturally normative body and health ideals can be subverted. Observations necessitate interrogation of how bodily hegemony interacts with ideals of personal responsibility for health. Investigating this process helps understand how systemic ableism and fat oppression are navigated and combated in a body inclusive space.
身体多样性的努力促使越来越多的健身供应商修改空间和设施,以欢迎更广泛的客户。我调查了个人如何在一个包容身体的空间里进行体育活动。作为一个胖子,我把自己融入了一个身体包容的瑜伽工作室,并严重依赖于我自己的具体化经验。根据萨曼莎·关(Samantha Kwan)的“身体特权”理论,我观察到文化规范的身体和健康理想是如何被颠覆的。观察结果需要对身体霸权如何与个人健康责任的理想相互作用进行询问。调查这一过程有助于理解如何在一个身体包容的空间中导航和对抗系统性的残疾歧视和肥胖压迫。

Fattening fabulousness: the joys and risks of troubling gender through fat fashion 令人难以置信的肥胖:通过肥胖时尚来扰乱性别的乐趣和风险

ABSTRACT Gender and weight are produced through dress before a child comes into the world. But dressing the body in ways that produce and embody one’s own understanding of gender is challenging for fat bodies because they have limited or no choice of available clothing sizes and styles. As a result, finding clothes that produce and embody fat people’s desired gender identities and expressions tends to be a source of struggle. This article tells a different story. Drawing on interviews and participatory photography, we use madison moore’s theory of “fabulousness” to explore how six fat, curvy and thick-identified people of diverse gender and fat embodiments create their gender and fat identities through their favorite fashion object. We also explore how participatory photography allows our participants and research team to co-create new understandings of fat, gender and fashion. Our work centers participants’ pleasure from finding and wearing clothing that produces and embodies their desired gender and fat identities, but participants also share how risk is inescapable when they dress their bodies in their favorite pieces in the social world. We argue that our participants practice “fabulousness” because their embodied dressing leads them to experience both pleasure and risk by stretching dominant understandings of gender and fat. Our findings contribute to fat studies and fashion studies by introducing underrepresented experiences of gender and weight, demonstrating how participatory photography generates more layered understandings of gender, fat and embodied dressing, and revealing the possibilities of fabulousness to connect both fields.
在孩子来到这个世界之前,性别和体重都是通过穿着来决定的。但是,对于肥胖的人来说,用能够产生和体现自己对性别的理解的方式来穿衣服是一项挑战,因为他们可以选择的衣服尺寸和风格有限,或者根本没有选择。因此,寻找能够产生并体现胖人所期望的性别认同和表达的衣服往往是一种挣扎。这篇文章讲述了一个不同的故事。通过访谈和参与式摄影,我们使用麦迪逊摩尔的“神话”理论来探索六个不同性别和肥胖体现的肥胖,曲线和厚实的人如何通过他们最喜欢的时尚对象来创造他们的性别和肥胖身份。我们还探索了参与式摄影如何让我们的参与者和研究团队共同创造对脂肪、性别和时尚的新理解。我们的工作让参与者从寻找和穿着能够体现他们所期望的性别和肥胖身份的衣服中获得乐趣,但参与者也分享了当他们在社交世界中穿着自己喜欢的衣服时,风险是不可避免的。我们认为,我们的参与者之所以实践“令人难以置信”,是因为他们的具象化着装通过延伸对性别和脂肪的主流理解,让他们体验到快乐和风险。我们的研究结果通过介绍性别和体重的代表性不足的经验,展示参与式摄影如何产生对性别、肥胖和体现性着装的更层次的理解,并揭示了将这两个领域联系起来的惊人可能性,为肥胖研究和时尚研究做出了贡献。

Perpetual waiting: Analyzing dieters’ time in WW’s Instagram posts 永恒的等待:分析WW Instagram帖子中节食者的时间

ABSTRACT WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) is one of the biggest and most successful diet companies in the world, and its social media presence, showcasing the company’s mostly female clientele, is saturated with messages regarding time and temporality. Unlike many descriptions of dieters’ experiences from their own points of view, this article examines WW’s corporate perception of dieters’ time as evidenced in its Instagram publications. We argue that WW presents to its online audience a dual conception of dieters’ time, in which the present is both missing and at the same time present in hyperfocus. It is missing in that the fat body is seen as an obstruction to a life of fulfillment and happiness, as merely a step on the way to unlocking one’s true potential via thinness; it is present in hyperfocus in that the monitoring and disciplining of the body through the program’s point system requires constant vigilance and preoccupation with food and eating. Since, as the research indicates, the promise that dieting will result in a thin body is rarely realized, dieters are thus left in a cycle of dissatisfaction, an existence taken over by calculations, and a perpetual state of expectation and waiting.
WW(原名慧俪轻体)是世界上最大、最成功的减肥公司之一,它的社交媒体上充斥着关于时间和时间性的信息,该公司的客户主要是女性。与许多从他们自己的角度描述节食者的经历不同,这篇文章研究了WW在其Instagram出版物中对节食者时间的企业看法。我们认为,WW向其在线受众呈现了一种节食者时间的双重概念,在这种概念中,当下既缺失,同时又处于高度聚焦状态。它的缺失在于,肥胖的身体被视为满足和幸福生活的障碍,仅仅是通过瘦身释放一个人真正潜力的道路上的一步;它存在于过度聚焦中,因为通过程序的积分系统对身体的监控和纪律要求始终保持警惕,并专注于食物和饮食。正如研究表明的那样,节食能带来苗条身材的承诺很少能实现,因此节食者就陷入了一个不满足的循环中,一种被计算所取代的存在,一种永恒的期待和等待状态。

Fatness, friendship, and “corpu-allyhood” stratagems 肥胖、友谊和“肉体同盟”策略

ABSTRACT The practice, theory, and critique of allyship have been central to feminist scholarship and activism. Identities once not regarded as identities at all but as neutral givens, such as maleness, whiteness, cisnormativity, heterosexuality, abledness, and settlerhood, have all become politicized planes of analysis and action. Yet little scholarship, praxis, and activism has held people with thin privilege accountable for the role they play in fueling the fires of fatphobia in the day to day. Even while fat studies and fat activisms have worked to dismantle fatphobia, thin people have rarely been asked to play pivotal roles in dismantling fatphobic worldviews. In this piece, we draw on anti-racist feminism, disability studies, and fat activism to think about what it might take to become a fat ally. Grounded in our collaborative corporeality as a (very) fat and (very) thin person, we hone the method of research-practice in this part theoretical essay and part action zine. Specifically, we argue that for fat allyhood to be possible, allies need to hone anti- rather than non-fatphobic commitments and practices grounded in what Mia Mingus frames as “access intimacy.”
同盟关系的实践、理论和批判一直是女权主义学术和行动主义的核心。身份,如男性、白人、顺规范性、异性恋、残疾和移民身份,曾经根本不被视为身份,而被视为中性的给予,现在都变成了分析和行动的政治化层面。然而,很少有学术研究、实践和行动主义让那些拥有微薄特权的人对自己在日常生活中助长恐胖症的行为负责。尽管肥胖研究和肥胖活动人士一直在努力消除肥胖恐惧症,但很少有人要求瘦人在消除肥胖恐惧症的世界观中发挥关键作用。在这篇文章中,我们利用反种族主义女权主义、残疾研究和肥胖激进主义来思考如何才能成为一个肥胖的盟友。基于我们作为一个(非常)胖和(非常)瘦的人的协作肉体,我们在这篇部分理论论文和部分行动杂志中磨砺了研究-实践的方法。具体来说,我们认为,要想成为肥胖盟友,盟友需要磨练反肥胖的承诺,而不是非肥胖恐惧症的承诺和实践,这些承诺和实践建立在米娅·明格斯(Mia Mingus)所定义的“亲密接触”基础上。

Gay fat femininities! A call for fat femininities in research on gay socio-sexual applications 同性恋胖女人!呼吁肥胖女性参与同性恋社会性别应用研究

ABSTRACT Fatphobia and femmephobia are highly interconnected structures of oppression that heavily impact the romantic and sexual lives of gay fat and femme men. Researchers have yet to place critical femininities studies – specifically femme theory – and fat studies together to analyze the regulation of fatness and femininity in gay socio-sexual applications (GSSAs). As such, this article is a call for future empirical research to use these two analytics – femme theory and fat studies – in tandem to deconstruct systems of homonormativity within GSSAs. Specifically, this article draws explicitly from femme theory and fat studies work on shame and failure, placing both in conversation with current work on gay men and GSSAs, to illuminate how these feelings can be motivating forces for political activism. Such feelings of gay fat femme shame and failure can disrupt hierarchies that exist within GSSAs by challenging the boundaries of identity that marginalize gay fat femme men while also focusing on fat and femme agency.
肥胖恐惧症和女性恐惧症是高度相互关联的压迫结构,严重影响同性恋、肥胖和女性男性的浪漫和性生活。研究人员还没有将批判性的女性研究——特别是女性理论——和脂肪研究放在一起,以分析同性恋社会性别应用(GSSAs)中肥胖和女性化的调节。因此,本文呼吁未来的实证研究使用这两种分析方法——女性理论和脂肪研究——来解构GSSAs内的同构性系统。具体来说,这篇文章明确地借鉴了女性理论和关于羞耻和失败的脂肪研究工作,并将它们与当前关于男同性恋者和GSSAs的研究进行了对话,以阐明这些感受是如何激发政治激进主义的力量的。这种同性恋肥胖女性的羞耻感和失败感可以打破GSSAs内部存在的等级制度,因为它挑战了同性恋肥胖女性男性被边缘化的身份界限,同时也关注了肥胖和女性的代理。

Researchers have yet to place critical femininities studies – specifically femme theory – and fat studies together to analyze the regulation of fatness and femininity in gay socio-sexual applications (GSSAs). As such, this article is a call for future empirical research to use these two analytics – femme theory and fat studies – in tandem to deconstruct systems of homonormativity within GSSAs. Specifically, this article draws explicitly from femme theory and fat studies work on shame and failure, placing both in conversation with current work on gay men and GSSAs, to illuminate how these feelings can be motivating forces for political activism. Such feelings of gay fat femme shame and failure can disrupt hierarchies that exist within GSSAs by challenging the boundaries of identity that marginalize gay fat femme men while also focusing on fat and femme agency.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"79 1","pages":"86 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77794526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
