20. Body Positivity: Fat Isn't a Bad Word (w/ Lord Troy)

2 Servings of Fruit

*Trigger Warning: this episode speaks about diet culture, body types, and eating disorders*

This week, we're talking about the Body Positivity Movement–the good and the bad! We also chat about our personal journeys accepting our own bodies, as well as the toxic ideology in the Queer community–particularly with gay men–that only certain bodies are attractive or valuable. We're also joined with body positive ICON, Lord Troy! Formerly known as a Bear Named Troy, Lord Troy is a Queer influencer, musician, model, and fashion icon that embraces his curves to fight diet culture and fatphobia. Furthermore, we chat with Troy about his journey loving his Queerness and his body, and about how reclaiming the word fat can be powerful for the body positive community. This felt like an important conversation to include during Pride Month, and we hope you all love it and learn from it!

NOTE: for some listeners, the first 10 minutes of the interview are sped up x.5 speed. This issue has been solved and the episode should be refreshed shortly!
