Tindel's Razor

Should cartoon mermaids have realistic body dimensions? What is realistic? While having a thin waist may be a fantasy for some, others fantasize about gaining healthy weight. Sarah tells us about her struggles with body image and her experiences with body positivity groups and how they've been ideologically captured by the notion that you can be healthy at any size, even morbidly obese. We discuss the nuances of what healthy is, what it certainly isn't, and why standardizing what "realistic" proportions looks like leaves a lot of people out of the picture.

Last year I spoke with Alex, a woman who was in the process of pressing charges against individuals who sexually assaulted her, what the process was like and how it's impacted her mental health. We originally spoke on episode 53 of this podcast, and she returns to tell us about how she's remained resilient during this difficult process, what the outcomes for her cases were and how the right therapy, treatment and community support has been so vital in her continued fight for peace and bringing justice to those who deserve it.
