- "I feel like for fat women, it was sort of this constant state of expectation that everyone in the audience would identify with a thin woman. And that folks would identify with rejecting a fat person."
Desiree grew up in the 80s and 90s; a time when you almost never saw fat women accurately portrayed in film and television. Heck, if it wasn’t for Miss Piggy, we may never have known that fat women could find love. In this episode, Desiree is joined by an expert, Aubrey Gordon, to reflect on the harmful stereotypes of fatness found in film and TV, while also celebrating the overlooked heroes from the big screen.

What’s 'Profiles In Fatness' about?
Women have always made up around 50% of the population, but only occupy approximately 0.5% of recorded history, add fatphobia into the mix and that figure drops off a cliff. But not anymore. Join comedian and writer Desiree Burch as she flips the script and takes us on a glitter-dusted celebration of the amazing fat HEROES that are so often skimmed over or airbrushed out of history.
Produced by Little Dot Studios.

I’ve heard Aubrey’s voice so many times on the Maintenance Phase podcast, what a delight it to see her face! Thank you both for this. This is the kind of content the world needs. When I was a little, fat child whose weight was everyone’s business and they weren’t afraid to let me know it, I never would have imagined that fat people would have this kind of power and positive representation in my life time, let alone just a few decades later. Thank you!
Yes! More please Desiree! I could have watched a full hour of this conversation. I love this so much and I cant wait to watch more of these interviews.
Agree! I was like, "Wait, why is it over??????"
Could not love this more. As a fan of Aubrey's, I'm so delighted to have found YOU, Desiree (instant fan!). Totally excited to follow this series. As a fat actor in the world myself, this particular episode had extra appeal, but there's so much ground to cover... I can't wait to see what's next. THANK YOU for having these conversations!

IF anyone wants to date you but "keep it secret?" - Run! They're not good enough to deserve you...
My Mad Fat Diary... So good.
Maintenance Phase is the best podcast and I've learned so much. And being fat is not bad for you, took me so many years to accept me:)

What a beautifully produced video. I saved it under my playlist ‘Great UA-camrs’.
Absolutely stunning episode. Aubrey is one of my favorite people in the world. Thank you for your word, Desiree!

Well, you certainly know your audience.
"Straight Sized People" 🤣
Just get a gym membership and walk/run and eat good
No no, do anything other than trying to make your life better. Don't address diet or exercise, blame it on society.
I lost 5 stone of my own accord because being fat is unhealthy. Promoting fat activism is just silly.
Thats not to say fat people deserve to be mistreated.
I saw an ad for this channel where a “Dr” says that you can be fit and healthy while fat which is complete nonsense. I was in very bad shape but after getting myself into shape and improving my diet my life has been so much better. I used to get heartburn daily now I can go months without having any at all and I feel so lose, free and weightless. I used to say I was fine but I’ll be honest and say I was completely lying to myself. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about making a change to push themselves and do so because it will make your life so much better even if you don’t currently realise it.
@@SparkyClarke not everyone is you bro. Good lesson for life.
@@AC-lh9sj I completely agree.
Never see a fat old person, nor do you see old body builders or even super skinny old people. Why? All extremess of what not do if you want to live long. Do what you want with your life but when you get 50 your body will remind you, you’re not immortal.
Treadmills and diets folks. It isnt a healthy lifestyle choice
