“Health is a sleepery term” It is weaponised against us” @Imani_Barbarin #asdahconference2022 Healthism reproduces ableism. It is SO pervasive. It is moralising and patronising. It is exhausting. @ASDAH

Grateful to be one of 40 @ASDAH scholarship recipients! This is personally & professionally life changing. For my PhD I’m exploring discriminatory messages about obesity in public health comms, esp targeted at Black women & critiquing normative ideologies underlying the science.

Gentle reminder that "health not weight" runs the risk of replacing one form of stigma (fatphobia/sizeism) with another (healthism/ableism)

Gentle reminder that pathologizing something doesn't make it less stigmatizing. In fact, thanks to healthism and ableism, it usually adds to stigma.

A2 Within the LGBTQ community, #EDs can have a connection to body dysphoria and meeting expectations for gender roles and expression. For some LGBTQ youth, EDs can be one of the few ways that young people can feel in control of their bodies #NEDAwareness thetrevorproject.org/resourc…
