A Philadelphia university is hosting the city’s first “fat people” convention featuring a keynote speaker who blames fatphobia on white supremacy ideals.
FatCon, hailed as a conference “for fat people, by fat people,” will run for two days in October at Temple University, and feature “fat speakers, influencers, performers” as well as some good old-fashioned sex advice.
Keynote speaker Sonalee Rashatwar, widely known as The Fat Sex Therapist, is also known for chalking up fatphobia and fat-shaming to white supremacist beauty ideals, calling it the “social construct” of health, “fat trauma” and the intersection of fat and gender.
