[quote=Anonymous]I think you can do this without being weird. I teach in a field where we talk a lot about different backgrounds and abilities. Almost every day I talk about the challenges of being a different ethnicity or religion or socioeconomic status, or having different (or dis-) abilities, and this includes body size. Using the word "fat" was hard for me, especially in front of fat people, but I do use it now without weirdness. I find it helps to refer to others who come from that perspective (so, yourself...or perhaps an author who writes about it, like Roxane Gay). You don't have to have the conversation as A WARNING. You can just have it as a series of many conversations about diversity of experience. [/quote]
