For my paper I want to focus on the intersection of fat and disability. For my main text I want to use Disability gets fat. I want to first go through the connotations of the words fat and disabled and how both of those terms are generally accepted as negative. I also want look at the similarties of social stigma. I want to question what it means to be disabled by fatness and how being fat is viewed as an easily cured disease. Im thinking about including feminism if I could see the essay that was in Kristin's book about disability and feminism in order to show that interesction becuase I think being a fat and a woman brings different issues to light than being a man.
