blog writing #debating fat phobia in physical education

In this paper, "fat-phobic discourses" in physical education are looked at in terms of how they are made and always changed by students who are "fat" or "overweight." People who have been overweight or obese at some point in their lives say this is true. There has been vast literature discussing how fat students deal with their bodies in fat-phobic classrooms, through the use of feminist post-structuralism, queer theory, and feminist fat theory. Mainstream media has shown that weighting and measuring overweight people is meant to make them feel bad and punish them. People who have a "fat phobia" make sex and gender more normal, the literature says. Literature also shows how some kids deal with their fear of fat in physical education by not doing certain physical activities that they don't like, and in some cases, succeeding at them.
