San Francisco’s new ‘fat positivity’ expert, hired to fight weight stigma in the city, is causing a stir before she’s even sunk her teeth into the job.
A newly resurfaced clip of Virgie Tovar, who describes herself as a ‘leading expert on weight-based discrimination and body positivity,’ shows her talking about how cutting back on cake is a form of oppression.
In the video, titled ‘No, I won’t cut you a smaller slice of cake’, the 42-year-old plus-sized woman calls out people who ‘ruin everything’ for asking for less cake while attending events.
