Toward a More Embodied Liberation

Theologically Integrating Racial Justice, Size Liberation, and Transgender Liberation

Abstract

Often, movements for embodied justice and liberation fail to account for bodies containing multiple marginalizations. This article looks at how fat and transgender liberation movements have (not) engaged with each other and with movements for racial justice. Further, this analysis offers ways to bring about God’s kindom through intentional racial justice, body justice, and trans justice work. This paper argues that only through integrating racial justice work into the extant work on size or fat liberation and transgender liberation can embodiment theology be liberatory for all of God’s people.
