Thin privilege is getting invited to your high school reunion party.
Why the heck is a BMI between 18.5 and 30 called "normal"? What kind of message does that send? I've also seen it referred to optimum, which probably bugs me more. But, I read papers, and people use this as short hand. Hell, my lab uses it as short hand. Well, either "normal" or "lean". But, they're both sucky terms. We need a better way to express this, that doesn't put judgement on this kind of thing.
Thin Privilege?!
Its a joke right?
"You work hard to make sure your body is healthy, WOW CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE, YOU GET SO MANY BENEFITS FROM SOCIETY CAUSE OF YOUR BODY!"
Oh so i get rewarded for doing hard work?
Something I really hate is that when people want me to feel better or be happy they say how much thinner I look.
I've never really had a problem with my body. I've always been fairly content with the way I look. But people see me blue and say "Have you lost weight? You look great!" This woman I really respected said "It's just melting off of ya!"
Truth be told it's not. I'm losing weight but that's mostly medication related. Saying I look thin as a way to make me feel better isn't something I want. I want truth and I want genuine compliments. People assume I must be unhappy with the way I look. I'm unhappy with the way people react to it. Seeing as how I can't change other people I pretty much stay constant.
My whole life I've been pretty chubby. I've had people say rude things, stare and doctors blame my illness on my weight. But that is them. That was never me! I never once thought I would be a better person if I were thinner. I know my weaknesses and my body is NOT one of them. I'm one of the strongest people, literally, I know. I take pride in that. I worked hard as a kid and as a teen and I have the muscle to prove it. Saying I look thin is not a compliment to me, it is a negative judgement of who I am currently.
I like myself. Please stop telling me how much I've changed.
