To start, I’m issuing a trigger warning. This episode talks about sexual harassment and sexual assault. If these are triggers for you, please feel free to skip this episode.
In this week’s episode I welcomed back Shelby Holloway. Shelby is a content creator on TikTok, dwarfism advocate, and one of my best friends. This conversation, ignited by a recent TikTok Shelby posted where she called out those who on social media who disrespect little person bodies, was a raw and real discussion about the fact that our bodies are often infantilized, dehumanized, and objectified online and in person, the fact that people think it’s okay to do so, and why it’s important to us that we use our platforms to raise awareness and call this behavior out.
