- Required listening, for ALL sizes
This is absolutely required listening. It is mind-blowing. If you are plus-size, DO NOT MISS IT. I’ve never felt so understood and validated and among good company. If you are straight-size, DO NOT MISS IT. This is what ALL your fat friends are experiencing and haven’t been able to get you to understand, and desperately wish you understood. Do you think you already get it and are understanding? You almost definitely do not. Listen. Your jaw will drop.
