I Watched “Your Fat Friend” Aubrey Gordon Documentary So You Don’t Have To

I watched the documentary Your Fat Friend by Jeanie Finlay, which follows the journey of writer and fat activist Aubrey Gordon. In this video, I break down the major themes, messages, and moments from the film — and share my honest thoughts.

Aubrey Gordon, known online as “Your Fat Friend,” became a powerful voice in the fat acceptance movement through her writing and advocacy. This documentary dives deep into her personal story, the challenges of being a public figure in a controversial space, and the broader cultural conversations around body size, health, and visibility.
