What if the stigma surrounding fat bodies is itself a health issue?

Chrystal sits down with writer, speaker, patient advocate, and weight-stigma educator Ragen Chastain for a deep conversation about anti-fat bias, healthcare, BMI, medical research, GLP-1 medications, weight-loss culture, racism, and the ways the weight-loss industry shapes the conversation around fat bodies.

We talk about why shame doesn't work, why “everybody knows” isn't evidence, who gets represented in medical research, how BMI became so influential, and what happens when healthcare systems are built around assumptions about fat bodies.

Ragen also talks about her work with Louise Adams on Exposing Obesity Incorporated, a podcast examining the weight-loss industry's influence and messaging.

Most importantly, we talk about what happens when we stop treating fat bodies as problems that need to be fixed.

Your body is not wrong.

Airline seats, workplace bias, inaccessible events, and “just lose weight” culture all point to the same truth: anti-fatness is systemic, and it costs people real freedom. We’re joined by Tigress Osborn, executive director of NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance), to talk about what it takes to build a fat liberation movement that actually includes everybody, not just the people with money, mobility, or proximity to big-city community spaces.

We dig into the origins of Fat Liberation Month (created by NAAFA), why it moved to August, and how NAAFA keeps so much of its programming virtual to support accessibility, disability inclusion, and global participation. Tigress shares what’s still on the calendar, including the Making Waves Fat Swim in the Bay Area and the Virtual Fat Splash, because summertime fun should not have a body requirement.

Then we zoom out to the bigger fight: size discrimination and the Campaign for Size Freedom, the fat liberation flag and its evolving design, and why legal protections are still rare in the United States. We also get real about underfunded social justice work, donor programs, volunteering, and why small monthly gifts matter, plus what advocacy can look like when airlines and brands roll back inclusion.

If you care about fat rights, weight stigma, accessibility, and community building, this conversation will give you both history and practical next steps. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find Big Sexy Chat.

Big Sexy Chat: Fat Adventure Wins with Amber Karnes

What happens when you stop waiting for permission to live? This week Crystal sits down with Amber Karnes, longtime body positive yoga teacher turned adventure guide, for a conversation about surfing at 42, hiking Valley of Fire, why liberated fat people are bad for business, and why the ocean, the trail, and the hot spring belong to all of us too.

Amber and Crystal have known each other for over a decade from the fat liberation world, and it shows. This one is warm, funny, and full of business talk, body talk, and travel talk in equal measure.

Guest

Amber Karnes — Founder of Body Positive Yoga, now running adventure retreats centering fat bodies and people left behind by the outdoor industry. Based in Henderson, NV.

Most pleasure products are designed as if everyone has long arms, effortless flexibility, and a body that never changes. That assumption quietly shuts out fat folks and people with disabilities, then asks us to blame our bodies when the toy is hard to hold, the buttons are impossible to reach, or the “plus-size” gear still snaps under real weight. We wanted a better conversation, so we brought in Marina Hayes, the velvet-robed visionary behind Peridot Robes, to talk about what inclusive design looks like when you actually live in a fat body.

Marina shares how Peridot Robes grew out of needing loungewear that fits, feels sexy, and delivers true luxury in sizes 14 to 40. From there, we connect the dots between ethical manufacturing and product trust, because quality matters even more when you’re buying items you rely on for comfort, confidence, and pleasure. We also get blunt about how big brands “dip a toe” into plus sizes, do it poorly, and walk away, leaving our community with fewer options and lower standards.

Then we move into the bedroom: plus-size sex toys, adaptive sex products, and sex furniture that actually works. We talk reach, ergonomics, and why controls and chargers can make a great toy frustrating fast. Marina previews her upcoming Peridot sex aid, nicknamed “the strap,” built for adjustability, support, and serious strength. We also swap tips on strap-ons, leverage tools like the plus-size doggy sling, accessibility hacks for chronic pain, and why the Liberator wedge sets the bar for durability.

If you’ve ever thought, “This wasn’t made for my body,” you’re not alone, and you’re not asking for too much. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with a friend who deserves better options, and leave us a review with the pleasure product you wish existed.

The gym can feel like a test you’re doomed to fail, especially when the world treats your body like public property. Chrystal sits down with Roz the Diva, a plus-size Black pole dancer, coach, and lifter, to talk about gym intimidation and why it blocks so many people from even getting started. We get honest about the double bind of being fat in public, and we name the bigger truth: most of us are chasing the same thing in fitness, which is belonging.

Roz shares what she’s learned from working with plus-size clients, queer athletes, disabled athletes, and people navigating anxiety and depression. We dig into pole dancing as a real strength practice, why there’s no magic shortcut for core and upper-body power, and why progress can take longer when you’re moving more bodyweight. She also explains the Static Spinner, a pole add-on with a platform that can make training more accessible and open up new ways to move.

You’ll also hear about Roz’s 305-pound lifting PR, why weight training supports bone density, and why representation in athletics changes lives. We wrap with inclusive fitness gear she actually uses, including Enel sports bras and Tona Active leggings, plus a fun detour into sex positivity and favorite toys that are fat body approved.

In this episode of Big Sexy Chat, Chrystal sits down with Candace Frank, the artist and designer behind Chub Rub Clothing, a brand creating bold fashion, art, and accessories rooted in fat liberation and unapologetic joy.

Candace shares how growing up fat and unable to find clothes that fit pushed her to start making her own. That creative spark eventually led to an MFA in Costume Design and a career designing clothing that refuses to hide fat bodies.

Together, Chrystal and Candace talk about reclaiming the word fat, challenging anti-fat narratives through fashion, and why clothing should feel good physically and emotionally. They also get into crop tops, cow prints, trolls on the internet, and the importance of building strong fat community spaces.

Candace also talks about projects like Fat Con, her art practice, and the new Fat Babes Club keychain project, designed to help fat folks connect and celebrate being part of the community.

This episode is full of humor, honesty, and a reminder that fat people deserve dignity, joy, fashion, pleasure, and space exactly as they are.

In This Episode

• Growing up fat and struggling to find clothing that actually fit
• Learning to sew and designing clothes for fat bodies
• Reclaiming the word fat and embracing fat liberation
• Why bold fashion can be political
• Crop tops, cow prints, and dressing for joy
• Responding to trolls with compassion (and sometimes humor)
• Building fat community through events like Fat Con
• Designing clothing up to 7X
• The Fat Babes Club keychain project and connecting fat community

This episode is a little different.

It’s not a typical Big Sexy Chat conversation… It’s something softer, heavier, and a lot more personal.

Merf joins Asherlee (co-producer & editor for Big Sexy Chat) for an honest, unfiltered conversation about her decision to step away from Big Sexy Chat and what led her there. They talk about the weight of the world right now, the reality of needing to refocus, and what it means to choose yourself in a moment where everything feels uncertain.

This isn’t a goodbye… It’s a “see you later.”

After their conversation, we take a walk back through some of Merf’s most memorable moments over the years. The laughter, the chaos, the advocacy, the honesty… all the pieces that made her such a powerful voice in this space.

Because Merf isn’t just part of this show… she helped shape it.

And that doesn’t just disappear.

So this episode is a love letter.

To her voice.
 To her impact.
 To the conversations she started and the ones she’ll keep having… just in new ways.

We love you, Merf. Always.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Merf shares why she’s stepping away from Big Sexy Chat
• The realities of burnout, career shifts, and protecting your energy
• Advocacy, fat liberation, and where the work continues
• A curated collection of Merf’s most iconic, funny, and powerful moments
• A reminder that joy, pleasure, and voice matter… especially right now

Stay Connected

Big Sexy Chat isn’t going anywhere… and neither is Merf.

Follow along, keep the conversations going, and most importantly…
 Don’t let anyone steal your joy.

JenX: The Story Behind the Talk

Fan-favorite guest Jen McClellan returns to Big Sexy Chat to take us behind the scenes of her recent TEDx talk and the deeply personal journey that led her to the red circle.

Jen is the founder of Plus Size Birth and host of the Plus Mommy Podcast, where she has spent years educating care providers about weight bias and advocating for respectful, dignified treatment in healthcare.

In this conversation, Chrystal and Jen go beyond the talk itself and explore what it really takes to step onto a stage like TEDx. From the emotional vulnerability of sharing her own experiences to the intense preparation required for just a few minutes on stage, Jen opens up about the pressure, growth, and courage behind the moment.

They also discuss the ongoing barriers fat people face, including travel challenges that can require paying for multiple seats simply to get from point A to point B, and why advocacy work like this remains so necessary. 

Whether you’ve dreamed of giving a TED-style talk, are curious about the process, or want an honest look at what happens after the spotlight fades, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the human story behind a powerful public moment.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What it’s really like to be invited to give a TEDx talk
• The vulnerability of sharing personal experiences on a global stage
• How Jen prepared for one of the biggest speaking moments of her career
• Weight bias and the importance of treating people with dignity
• Travel barriers and accessibility challenges for people in larger bodies
• Why this advocacy work continues to matter

What if dating apps were built for real bodies? Real needs. Real safety.

In this episode, we sit down with Liz Gewirtz, the founder of Hips, Crips & Queers, a new dating and community platform centering queer, fat, disabled, and older folks.

Liz shares what pushed her to build something entirely different from the swipe-and-discard culture most of us know too well, and what it looks like to design a space rooted in fat liberation, disability justice, consent, and actual human connection.

We talk about:

• Why mainstream dating apps fail marginalized bodies
• Reclaiming language, identity, and desire
• Safety, scam prevention, and avoiding fetishization
• Creating community, not just matches
• Dating while fat, disabled, queer, older, neurodivergent, or all of the above
• Why representation and visibility still matter deeply
• And what it means to dare to date in a world that often tells you not to

This conversation is honest, thoughtful, funny, political, tender, and deeply human.

If you’ve ever felt invisible in dating spaces, this one is for you.

About our guest:

Liz Gewirtz is the founder of Hips, Crips & Queers, a dating and community website centering queer, fat, disabled, and older folks.

By day, she works as a Restorative Justice Facilitator. By night, she’s a fat, disabled, old, and queer activist, community builder, big-time nerd, and devoted dog rescuer.

As 2025 comes to a close, Big Sexy Chat gathers for an end-of-year roundtable conversation about what this year took, what it revealed, and what the fat community is being asked to carry forward into 2026.

Joined by Saucye West, Bruce Sturgell, and Ronald Young Jr., this conversation moves beyond headlines and buzzwords to talk honestly about autonomy, weight loss culture, respectability politics, community fatigue, and the realities of staying visible in a world that keeps asking fat people to disappear.

We talk about GLP-1 medications and the “magic wand” narrative, but more importantly, we talk about truth-telling, conditional acceptance, and what it means to keep showing up when comfort is offered only if you comply.

This episode isn’t neat. It’s reflective, sometimes heavy, sometimes hopeful, and deeply human.
Still here. Still fat. Still paying attention.

Guests

Saucye West
Plus-size model, fat fashion influencer, and activist. Saucye is the creator of the #FatAndFree movement and a long-time advocate for extended sizing, fat liberation, and unapologetic visibility, particularly for superfat and infinite fat bodies.

Bruce Sturgell
Founder of Chubstr and co-host of the Heavy Conversation podcast. Bruce has spent over a decade creating resources, fashion guidance, and media for fat men and masculine-presenting people.

Ronald Young Jr.
Award-winning audio producer, storyteller, and host of Weight For It. Ronald’s work explores fatness, culture, and storytelling, and has been recognized by Tribeca, The Podcast Academy, Vulture, Vogue, and The New York Times.

Due to a technical issue, Ronald was disconnected near the end of the episode. You can find more of his work through Weight For It and his current projects.

Topics We Cover

• Reflecting on 2025 inside the fat community
• Autonomy, neutrality, and where those conversations fall short
• GLP-1 medications and the “magic wand” narrative
• Respectability politics and conditional acceptance
• What weight loss changes and what it doesn’t
• Community fatigue, grief, and rebuilding connection
• What we’re keeping, tossing, and transforming moving into 2026

In this episode, we’re joined by Cam Jennings from ToyChats.com, a platform built entirely around user-generated sex toy reviews.

We talk about why ToyChats exists in the first place, how the platform actually works, and what makes a review useful versus just noise. Cam breaks down the difference between brand-driven reviews and reviews from real people, how reviewers get paid, and what they’re looking for before a review goes live.

We also dig into why ToyChats actively wants everyday people reviewing toys, not just influencers or industry insiders, and why having a wide range of bodies, experiences, and opinions makes sex toy shopping safer and more helpful for everyone.

If you’ve ever wished you could hear how a toy actually works for someone who isn’t being paid by the brand, this conversation gives a really clear look at how ToyChats is trying to fill that gap.

In this episode of Big Sexy Chat, Chrystal, Merf, and Asherlee dive piston-first into the wild, fascinating, and sometimes downright hilarious world of sex machines, electricity play, and the evolving landscape of pleasure tech. From the history of 19th-century “medical devices” to modern thrusting rigs, ride-on machines, smart toys, and hyper-realistic sex dolls, the trio explores the creativity, accessibility, and kink curiosity shaping today’s sex-positive culture.

You’ll hear:
 • What early “hysteria treatments” actually looked like
 • The legacy of queer and disabled communities in sex-tech innovation
 • The truth about devices like the Sybian, Motorbunny, Cowgirl, and thrusting machines
• How smart toys, remote-controlled vibrators, e-stim, and violet wands are changing long-distance and partner play
• Accessibility wins (and fails) in sex-machine design for fat bodies, disabled bodies, and anyone with chronic pain
• Why sex dolls and AI companions are becoming more common, including their emotional + therapeutic implications
• Real talk about safety, consent, sensory limits, grounding devices, and what not to stick anywhere

This conversation is part sex-tech history lesson, part kink education, part comedy hour. Expect curiosity, honesty, and plenty of “did we just say that out loud?” moments.

This week, we’re honored to sit down with the brilliant Rawiyah Tariq; a Black, fat, disabled, and neurodivergent artist, writer, and healer whose work reclaims space for marginalized bodies and spirits through ritual, storytelling, and embodiment.

In this conversation, Rawiyah shares the wisdom behind their practice, A Sovereign Embodiment, and speaks candidly about navigating medical trauma, reclaiming pleasure through kink, and redefining beauty and power on their own terms.

Their story is one of survival, sovereignty, and softness, a reminder that liberation begins in the body.

We talk about:
✨ The spiritual and emotional layers of embodiment
✨ How medical trauma and fatphobia intersect
✨ Kink as a space of reclamation and healing
✨ The balance between ritual, magic, and practical self-care
✨ What it means to hold yourself, and others, through pain and pleasure

This episode is a tender, powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear; it’s embodied, sacred, and deeply human.

Mary Lambert joins us for a powerful, intimate, and joyful conversation that bridges music, activism, and radical self-love. From her breakout with Same Love to her new anthem The Tempest, Mary shares how art becomes resistance and why fat liberation is at the heart of her work.

We dive into:

• The story and politics behind The Tempest and why every lyric matters.
• How Mary’s journey through poetry, community, and visibility shaped her fat liberation voice.
• Building the Fat Friendly Medical Provider Directory and fighting for healthcare access.
• Intimacy, desire, and why pleasure isn’t an act of charity, it’s liberation.
• The power of workshops like Everybody Is A Babe to dismantle shame and spark joy.

Mary also gets candid about sex toys (yes, “The Boss” makes an appearance), queer joy, playlists for pleasure, and how choosing authenticity has transformed her life.

✨ This episode is a reminder that liberation isn’t just personal, it’s collective, messy, sexy, and revolutionary.

In this episode of Big Sexy Chat, Chrystal and Merf sit down with Jeff Jenkins, award-winning travel and food personality, speaker, podcast host, and creator of Chubby Diaries. Jeff is also the former host of Never Say Never with Jeff Jenkins on National Geographic, where he brought inclusive, joyful storytelling to audiences worldwide

We dive into:

• The realities of airline seats, resort furniture, and clothing access - and the small fixes that make a world of difference.
• How representation in media and tourism changes not just experiences, but lives.
• Jeff’s philosophy on confidence, self-acceptance, and finding joy outside your comfort zone.
• What’s next: new projects, a documentary in the works, and his mission to humanize fat people worldwide.

This conversation is about more than travel; it’s about visibility, belonging, and the power of living fully in your body, wherever you are.

This week on Big Sexy Chat, we’re joined by the incomparable Sheri Winston — award-winning author, wholistic sexuality teacher, and founder of the Intimate Arts Center — for a deep, delicious, and occasionally freaky conversation that peels back layers (literally and figuratively) on pleasure, anatomy, aging, and so much more.

We’re talking foreskins, pelvic floors, prostate play, menopause, masturbation, and why spontaneous arousal is a myth worth retiring.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why foreskin matters (and what was taken from many penis-owners at birth)
• What Sheri calls the “sliding sleeve effect” and how it changes vaginal intercourse
• How to build your own erotic fire — especially after menopause
• Prostate pleasure, pelvic floor strength, and underrated erogenous zones
• How to become an erotic virtuoso at any age, with any body
• Circumcision history, hygiene myths, and medical gaslighting
• Why your genitals aren’t dirty — and your bidet might save your sex life
• Sheri’s go-to metaphors: crockpots, firewood, and penis-hand puppets (yes, really)

From anatomy to arousal, Sheri brings humor, insight, and unfiltered truth in a way only she can. Whether you’ve got a penis, play with one, or just want to understand bodies better, this episode is a must-listen.
