058: The Left Has a Big Fatphobia Problem
Progressive spaces are filled with people who are determined to hold onto bigoted beliefs and it's really getting on my t*ts! In many liberal spaces, discrimination is a big no-no, people work to be anti-racist, anti-sexist, they pride themselves on being forward-thinking and inclusive....that is until it comes to fat bodies.
