Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.30,0:00:02.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.00,0:00:04.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why are you looking at me??
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.53,0:00:05.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To introduce yourself!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.32,0:00:05.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,oh!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.82,0:00:06.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[lots of laughter]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.40,0:00:06.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh! I'm Sara
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.18,0:00:07.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Jackie.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.84,0:00:08.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Asam.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.56,0:00:12.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Jackie] And we are doing a video, uh,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.74,0:00:18.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I guess to start off something that we're gonna call "It Gets Fatter Project"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.05,0:00:19.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[LAUGHTER]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.02,0:00:25.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, uh, I'll start a little bit by introducing why it gets fatter.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.14,0:00:27.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so basically it came out of an idea...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.40,0:00:30.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm from Montreal, and we're in Toronto right now in Asam's apartment,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.83,0:00:33.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, uh, I wanted to have a party
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.70,0:00:38.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where everyone ate food, and wore, uh, little-to-nothing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.20,0:00:39.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like bikinis maybe,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.19,0:00:42.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and were just like really positive about their bodies around each other,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.22,0:00:44.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and like eating food in public together, and blah blah blah.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.28,0:00:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, uh, my friend Marty suggested that we call it the It Gets Fatter Party,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.11,0:00:51.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think that was a great idea.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.62,0:00:55.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And from that I was talking to these two while we were sitting around and eating cheese
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.61,0:00:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and brie, and now ice cream,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.68,0:01:03.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that maybe, it could be like a project, like It Gets Better,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.64,0:01:07.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but ACTually better, because it's people of colour who are doing it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.26,0:01:10.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was kind of why we thought that it might be fun to do,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.21,0:01:12.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is kind of like our introductory video.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.21,0:01:14.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So...uh... try to go fast...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.19,0:01:19.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but um so basically the thing that I think is important with fat, uh, maybe not "fat acceptance",
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.85,0:01:22.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I don't particularly like that term that much,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.87,0:01:24.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but body positivity,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.71,0:01:27.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of thinking about acceptance, just being positive about your body,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.48,0:01:32.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is that to stop the whole equating it with health.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.22,0:01:35.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So like fatness and health don't really need to be uh together,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.60,0:01:38.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz it's kind of an ableist thing to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.31,0:01:43.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead of talking about just like, it's ok if someone is unhealthy,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.36,0:01:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there's lots of different...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.68,0:01:46.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that YOU think someone is unhealthy,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.29,0:01:48.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz there's lots of different ways of defining health.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.21,0:01:57.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And to like allow health and size to be put in the same dialogue, is often pretty ableist,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.06,0:02:01.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in that like, if you're not healthy it's bad, if you are, it's ok to be fat,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.26,0:02:03.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in some ways is not the way that we should be going about things.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.84,0:02:07.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We should just be thinking that it's ok to be fat, no matter what,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.21,0:02:11.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uh, and if you are ok with it, then you should be ok with it, and that's it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.08,0:02:14.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Uh, and also just, yeah, that's basically it...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.06,0:02:18.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to think about health and fatness in that way,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.54,0:02:24.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just be, I guess, eating with people of colour who are like nice and fat.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.03,0:02:26.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Sara] Yeah, I mean what Jackie was saying,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.95,0:02:30.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think for me it's really important to be around people who look like me
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.91,0:02:32.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and think the same way I do,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.60,0:02:38.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also just feel safe...[laughing & stumbling over words] safe as a fat person,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.08,0:02:42.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,safe being visible, safe like eating in public,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.87,0:02:46.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and not feeling pressured to like, y'know, have body shame
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.68,0:02:50.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you know, like I need to lose weight, or need to talk about losing weight,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.47,0:02:56.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or feel like I always have to work on what I look like because I'm fat.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.27,0:03:01.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, and so, just y'know, being around people of colour and eating, and being fat, and being visible,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.40,0:03:06.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and being happy doing that, and I think that that's something really important to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.30,0:03:09.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Asam] I think we just sort of like jumped on this bandwagon
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.86,0:03:16.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there's so few people of colour who are fat and queer
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.08,0:03:20.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it would be really nice to see more fat positive brown people,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.66,0:03:23.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or just people of colour in general.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.97,0:03:28.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, and I would just like us to like, you know, have a space where...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.62,0:03:33.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or have some sort of dialogue where we do actually talk about how difficult it can be
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.03,0:03:36.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being fat positive in such a fatphobic world.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.91,0:03:39.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah, I'm really excited.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.35,0:03:40.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Jackie] Me too!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.84,0:03:46.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hope that if people want to like actually upload things, videos or like text or whatever themselves too,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.78,0:03:49.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would rule, that would be so cool.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.51,0:03:53.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, yeah. Anyways, hopefully we will make another one sometime.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.17,0:03:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ok, bye!
