Beyond the Scale: Reclaiming Joy in a Fat-Phobic World
Have you ever noticed how society treats fatness as the ultimate failure? In "Happy Fat," comedian Sofie Hagen takes us on a radical journey of reclamation in a world designed to make fat people invisible. This isn't just another body positivity manifesto - it's a powerful examination of how fatphobia permeates every aspect of our lives, from childhood to healthcare to romance. Growing up as a fat child in Denmark, Hagen experienced firsthand how early our bodies become battlegrounds. Her grandfather used sweets as emotional manipulation, while school environments normalized cruelty toward her body. By sixteen, she was cycling through diets with Monday determination that inevitably collapsed into binge-eating and self-loathing - so desperate she even tried to trigger bulimia, believing an eating disorder seemed better than remaining fat. What makes her narrative so compelling is how she connects these personal experiences to systemic issues, helping us understand that beauty isn't objective but defined through racist, classist, ableist standards that harm everyone - though in profoundly different ways.
