The Bad Fat Broads, Ariel Woodson and KC Slack, are here to talk about the ways in which we assign moral values to the food we eat and the bodies we live in — and why this needs to stop.
There are arguably few subjects as polarizing within body positive and plus size communities as fat fetishism. While it's often demonized as perverse or manipulative, BBW modeling legend Plump Princess is here to explain why such assumptions might not be all that justified.

Although there are more stylish plus size clothing options available now than ever before, people above a size 20 still can't walk into any store of their choosing and find something to take home. All the while, fat women in particular are bombarded with rule upon rule of styles they can and cannot wear. Plus blogger Sarah Chiwaya of Curvilly is here to talk about the ins and outs of plus size fashion, the options we have (and don't have), and why fat fashion is so political.
Author of fat positive and feminist novel Dietland, Sarai Walker is here to debunk everything you thought you knew about diet culture and awaiting the appearance of the "thin woman within." Getting real about the tragic and unnecessary experiences so many fat individuals are put through, Sarai wants everyone to know that life doesn't start when you lose weight. You're already living it.

But what's it really like to live in a still-binaristic world when you don't identify as woman nor man? Writer and journalist Meg Zulch is here to talk about the fluidity of their gender and navigating a culture where male/female stereotypes are still ingrained.
Whitney Way Thore is one of the few fat people on television at the moment, and undoubtedly one of the only fat people on reality TV. But what's it like to balance one foot in mainstream America and the other in the fat activist pool? And can you really cater to both communities?
