Fatphobia’s Bipartisan: Fox News, SNL & The Bangs Election
🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!
We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to love ourselves in a world that never missed a chance to body-shame us.
This week’s episode dives into:
🎙️ Fatphobia Across Politics & Pop Culture — from Fox News SNAP rants to SNL punchlines. We talk about how shaming fat people is still pervasive and why body shame somehow keeps getting a pass on both sides.
🤝 Finding Real Community in Transformation — what it’s like to meet people doing the same deep, uncomfortable work you are, then go home to a world that doesn’t always get it.
✂️ Should Lisa Get Bangs? — the lighthearted national debate we didn’t know we needed. The people get to decide… listen in to learn how to vote!
If you’ve ever laughed off a joke that hit too close, felt like the only one rewiring your self-image, or just want to cast your vote in the Great Bangs Election of 2025, this one’s for you.
