舊金山新任「肥胖正向」專家受僱對抗城市中的體重恥辱，在她正式投入工作之前就引起了轟動

維吉·托瓦爾（Virgie Tovar）自稱是“基於體重的歧視和身體積極性方面的領先專家”，在一段新近重新出現的視頻中，她談到了減少蛋糕的攝入量是一種壓迫。

A San Francisco body positivity advocate, who was recently hired by the city to fight weight stigma, has sparked controversy with a resurfaced video where she claims cutting back on cake is a form of oppression.

舊金山的一位身體積極倡導者最近被該市聘請來對抗體重恥辱，她的一段重新出現的影片引發了爭議，她在影片中聲稱減少蛋糕的攝入量是一種壓迫。

Virgie Tovar, who describes herself as a "leading expert on weight-based discrimination and body positivity," posted the video on her Facebook page in 2018, but the link no longer works. It was reshared this week on End Wokeness' X account.

維吉·托瓦爾 (Virgie Tovar) 自稱是“基於體重的歧視和身體積極性方面的領先專家”，她於 2018 年在她的 Facebook 頁面上發布了該視頻，但該鏈接不再有效。本週，該影片在 End Wokeness 的 X 帳戶上重新分享。

In the video, titled "No, I won't cut you a smaller slice of cake," Ms Tovar slams women who "ruin everything" for asking for less cake while attending events.

在這段題為「不，我不會給你切小塊蛋糕」的影片中，托瓦爾女士猛烈抨擊了那些在參加活動時要求少吃蛋糕的女性，這些女性「毀了一切」。

She goes on to coin this phenomenon a "Cake Related Fatphobic Incident (CRFI)."

她接著將這種現象稱為「蛋糕相關脂肪恐懼事件（CRFI）」。

"A Cake Related Fatphobic Incident or CRFI is that moment when it's time to eat delicious cake and it's interrupted by a moralizing impulse," she explains.

「與蛋糕相關的脂肪恐懼事件（CRFI）是指當該吃美味蛋糕的時候卻被道德衝動打斷了，」她解釋道。

"Inevitably, there's always someone at the party who has to declare publicly that their slice is too large and that the person who's cutting the cake (almost invariably a woman) must do some disproportionate amount of labor in order to accommodate their need to feel superior."

「不可避免的是，聚會上總會有人不得不公開宣稱他們的份額太大了，切蛋糕的人（幾乎總是女性）必須做一些不成比例的勞動，以滿足他們感覺優越的需要」。

The video then shows three female actors role playing a CRFI.

影片隨後展示了三位女演員扮演 CRFI 的角色。

"Can you do a little bit [of cake]... like, can you like scrape all the frosting off and cut it in half and give me two forks, because I'm sharing," says one woman, embodying the "annoying" party-goer role set forth by Ms Tovar.

「你能做一點[蛋糕]嗎……比如，你能不能刮掉所有的糖霜，把它切成兩半，然後給我兩把叉子，因為我正在分享，」一位女士說，體現了「令人討厭的」 「托瓦爾女士提出了派對常客的角色。

Another female appears, echoing similar demands and constantly resizing her slice of cake to be smaller.

另一位女性出現了，回應了類似的要求，並不斷地將她的蛋糕調整得更小。

The third takes things further, whining to the camera: "Could you just cut my piece into 12 equal symmetrical little pieces and put each one into a tiny little Tupperware, so that I can have a bite for each month of 2018. Thanks!"

第三個則更進一步，對著鏡頭抱怨道：「你能不能把我的作品切成12 個相等對稱的小塊，然後將每個小塊放入一個小小的特百惠塑膠盒中，這樣我就可以在2018 年的每個月都吃上一口了。

Ms Tovar then continues her monologue on CRFI.

托瓦爾女士隨後繼續她對 CRFI 的獨白。

"Let's take a step back and view what's happening through a critical feminist lens," she says.

「讓我們退後一步，透過批判的女權主義鏡頭來審視正在發生的事情，」她說。

"CRFI typically happen in environments where there are primarily or exclusively women.

「CRFI 通常發生在主要或僅有女性的環境中。

"Women are disproportionately, negatively affected by diet culture because diet culture maps on to sexism like many parts of diet culture.

「女性受到飲食文化的負面影響尤其嚴重，因為飲食文化像飲食文化的許多部分一樣映射到性別歧視。

"There is a significant performance component you have to show others that you are being good.

「有一個重要的表現部分是你必須向別人展示你做得很好。

"Controlling how much you eat is part of what it means to be a quote "good woman".

「控制飲食量是成為『好女人』的一部分。

"This kind of behavior is a way for people to keep other people in check through food moralizing, surveillance and policing."

“這種行為是人們透過食品道德說教、監視和治安來控制他人的一種方式。”

In a caption accompanying the YouTube clip, Ms Tovar wrote: "Statistics indicate that 104 percent of women will experience a Cake Related Fatphobic Incident (CRFI) before the end of 2018."

在 YouTube 影片的標題中，托瓦爾女士寫道：“統計數據表明，到 2018 年底，104% 的女性將經歷與蛋糕相關的脂肪恐懼事件 (CRFI)。”

While the clip is no longer on Ms Tovar's page, it has recently done the rounds on social media, with many commenters outraged by her "fat acceptance push."

雖然這段影片不再出現在托瓦爾女士的頁面上，但它最近在社交媒體上流傳，許多評論者對她的「肥胖接受推動」感到憤怒。

"@EndWokeness posted the video to X, with the caption: "San Francisco Weight Czar Virgie Tovar on why eating less cake is oppression."

“@EndWokeness 將影片發佈到 X，標題是：“舊金山體重沙皇維吉·托瓦爾 (Virgie Tovar) 闡述為什麼少吃蛋糕是一種壓迫。

It was announced this week the San Francisco Department of Public Health had hired Ms Tovar as a consultant on "weight stigma and weight neutrality" despite the city in the midst of a battle against rampant homelessness, open-air drug use, and violent crime.

舊金山公共衛生部本周宣布聘請托瓦爾女士擔任「體重恥辱和體重中立」顧問，儘管該市正在與猖獗的無家可歸者、露天吸毒和暴力犯罪作鬥爭。

Announcing her appointment on her Instagram, she called it "an absolute dream come true."

她在 Instagram 上宣布了這一任命，稱這「絕對是夢想成真」。

"I'm unbelievably proud to serve the city I've called home for almost 20 years in this way!" Ms Tovar wrote.

“能夠以這種方式為這座我稱之為家的城市服務近 20 年，我感到無比自豪！”托瓦爾女士寫道。

"This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it's my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health."

「這項諮詢絕對是夢想成真，我最大的希望和信念是體重中立將成為公共衛生的未來。”

Critics argue San Francisco has far bigger problems to deal with than how people feel about their weight.

批評者認為，舊金山需要解決的問題比人們對體重的感受大得多。

With the city struggling to deal with homelessness, drug addiction, and public safety concerns, prioritizing a weight stigma consultant feels tone-deaf, they argue.

他們認為，隨著這座城市努力解決無家可歸、藥物成癮和公共安全問題，優先考慮體重恥辱顧問感覺像是充耳不聞。

"This is real?" tweeted Elon Musk upon hearing the news, believing it might be satire.

“這是真的嗎？”伊隆馬斯克聽到這個消息後發推文，認為這可能是諷刺。

"So the goal is not to fix any problems. Just to make people feel better about having them," surmised one user.

「所以我們的目標不是解決任何問題。只是為了讓人們在遇到問題時感覺更好，」一位用戶推測道。

"San Francisco is just making their problems worse," added another.

另一位補充說：“舊金山只會讓他們的問題變得更糟。”

"You do have the right to remain fat, but that doesn't mean it's healthy!" quipped a fourth.

“你確實有權利保持肥胖，但這並不意味著它是健康的！”第四個打趣道。

Supporters see the move as typical of progressive politics emphasizing the importance of addressing weight-based discrimination as part of broader public health goals.

支持者認為此舉是進步政治的典型，強調解決基於體重的歧視作為更廣泛的公共衛生目標的一部分的重要性。

Ms Tovar, who authored a book entitled You Have the Right to Remain Fat, positions herself as a leading voice against weight-based discrimination.

托瓦爾女士寫了一本名為《你有權利保持肥胖》的書，她將自己定位為反對基於體重的歧視的主要聲音。
