Sofie Hagen is a comedian who has written a book about her experience of growing up fat and fat acceptance. In a world where we try to be more and more inclusive, fat people still find themselves being excluded and bullied, and many of the stories she told did make me sad. Her experiences flying being wedged in beside her neighbors, of not being able to find any clothes to buy and being made to constantly diet by her mother. Saddest of all was one of beginning pages that talks about her experience of walking down the street, that she always wears headphones so that she does not have to hear the abuse hurled at her by strangers. 4/5
