Fatphobia permeates various facets of our lives, influencing healthcare, employment opportunities, social interactions, and self-perception. While other forms of implicit bias are declining, bias against body size remains stubbornly entrenched, leading to discrimination and prejudice.

Fatphobia intersects with other systems of oppression, including sexism, racism, and classism. This intersectional lens exposes how fatphobia disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, exacerbating existing inequalities.

Instead of perpetuating the narrative of 'loving your body,' Manne proposes 'body reflexivity.' This concept encourages critical examination and challenging of societal forces that dictate how we perceive and treat our bodies, advocating for acceptance of all body sizes.
