****PLEASE NOTE****Review the information below to ensure you‘re
familiar with our community guidelines:
Fat Girls Hiking a safer space for fat folks and people who live in
marginalized identities. We don’t allow any weight loss talk, diet
talk or body shaming at any of our events or hikes.
Kids of all ages are welcome (unless noted, typically if there are
unsafe conditions that wouldn’t be good for kids, this will be noted
in the event description above.)
Dogs are allowed (unless the area where the hike is located doesn’t
allow them, typically wildlife refuges or natural conservation areas,
this will be noted in the event description above.)
We are inclusive to all genders, all sizes & abilities. We love when
non-fat allies show up for us!
We go at the pace of the slowest hiker with NO shame! We lead hikes
from the back, so the slowest folks receive the most support from hike
leaders.
We are inclusive to queer folks, transgender folks, gender
non-conforming folks, feminists, fat folks, people of color & all
marginalized people.
Be mindful of gender pronouns! Don’t assume someone’s pronoun by
their appearance. Every group hike starts with intros that include
everyone stating their name & pronoun!
