   • 2024, Nick McGlynn, “Bear Boundaries”, in Bodies and Boundaries of UK Bear Spaces, London, New York, N.Y.: Routledge, page 117:

     Even if the women in question were not actively abusive, due to the pervasive and internalised nature of fat stigma (Andreyeva et al., 2008; Cooper, 2010; Cooper et al., 2014; Edmonds & Zieff, 2015; Gough & Flanders, 2009:243–244; Hopkins, 2012; Longhurst, 2005; Pausé, 2017; Wann, 2009) it can be very emotionally damaging for fat GBQ men like Ryan and superchubs like Timothy to experience this kind of behaviour, emphasising their feeling of abjection.
