This is the second of two episodes on Gendered Bodies and Public Scrutiny by Victoria Kannen. This time though I chatted with Layla Cameron, a fat activist based close to my hometown in Vancouver, BC, Canada. You definitely do not have to listen to the first episode to get something out of this conversation but the first conversation provides a framework of the book and of this discussion. We cover a lot of ground including:
Layla's journey to becoming a fat activist
Changes Layla has seen in Vancouver
Differences between Vancouver and Toronto
Clothing for fat people and the fat tax
The concept of the third eye
The elimination of fatness from the discussion in the book
The fat spectrum
Fat stigma as the "last" acceptable form of discrimination
What is a body story and how does that interact with your identity
How body positivity has been made palatable to the masses
