Meanings

   • Even if the women in question were not actively abusive, due to the pervasive and internalised nature of fat stigma (Andreyeva et al., 2008; Cooper, 2010; Cooper et al., 2014; Edmonds & Zieff, 2015; Gough & Flanders, 2009:243–244; Hopkins, 2012; Longhurst, 2005; Pausé, 2017; Wann, 2009) it can be very emotionally damaging for fat GBQ men like Ryan and superchubs like Timothy to experience this kind of behaviour, emphasising their feeling of abjection. 2024, Nick McGlynn, “Bear Boundaries”, in Bodies and Boundaries of UK Bear Spaces, London; New York, N.Y.: Routledge, page 117:
