///WORKSHOPS & PANELS///

<>
Sit yourself down and get some free education from four fat queer babes as they hash out how fatphobic, erasure-adjacent, and non-intersectional queer spaces can be (especially in Seattle). They’ll discuss what their experiences with this have been, what is innately problematic already about body positivity & fat acceptance, and how best to educate people so that they’ll cut that shit out, as well as discuss how to enable fat accepting and body positive spaces that are better for the future intersectional health of our communities.
