FAQ:

what is skinnyphobia?

i'll link a carrd about it later!

skinnyphobia isn't real?

sorry to break it to you friend, but anti-thin prejudice has existed since the medieval times. it has been extensively documented, and will be even more documented on this blog! :)

and tbh. you asking this question proves that skinnyphobia is a real issue, since you aren't even taking it seriously.

what are your opinions on fatphobia?

fatphobia is just as real skinnyphobia! and fatphobia is just as bad as skinnyphobia. bodyshaming is bad, and we shouldn't be mean to eachother.

however, many people who discuss fatphobia hold deep resentment towards skinny people. and this has to be called out.

is this account real?

yes? why wouldn't it be?

why do you distance yourself from the other this-is-x blogs?

the other this-is-x blogs have a history of dismissing skinnyphobia as a real thing, and frequently promote @/this-is-fatphobia and @/this-is-fatmisia, who are skinnyphobic accounts.

follow my friend @this-is-skinnypride for skinny positive posts!

Hello thin trans guys, I as a fat trans man need you to learn when to shut the fuck up

Fat trans men being less than polite when complaining about binder companies never showing a fat trans man in their binders is not skinny shaming you. You cannot ask us all to 100% of the time with zero exceptions to be oh so super careful to make sure our complaints are said in a way that does not hurt your feelings.

Hell, I’d argue that if you see a fat trans man being angry about binder companies never showing fat trans men wearing their binders and your main concern is skinny shaming, you are just plain fatphobic. There is a more serious problem here.

This is skinnyphobia.

being upset about lack of representation for plus size transmascs doesn't mean you get to VERBALLY ABUSE skinny people.

No matter who you are.. You will never deserve to be body shamed.. Every body is a good body.

So I have always been really thin, but lately I have managed to gain a little weight. I am still thin, but my hips and thighs are a little wider. So now I still have the "eat a hamburger" and "why are you so skinny?" Comments, but people have also told me that I have big hips and such. I don't know why, as I am still far thinner than average at 5"9 and 110lbs. But I get both and makes me really insecure.

This is skinnyphobia.

Fatphobia Online

It really irks me when a fat person goes on the internet to speak about the dehumanization they experience as a fat person, and a skinny person comes into the conversation to say, "Skinnyshaming is bad, too!"

Yeah, any bodyshaming is inherently bad, but you are the beauty standard--especially right now. Your character isn't defined by your weight and the way people treat you morally is nowhere near as deeply rooted in beauty standards as fatphobia is.

Skinny people just love derailing posts about fatphobia to talk about people calling them names in highschool or their aunt being rude to them at christmas dinner. Shut uppp!!!! There are people dying kim!

[fluffyfoxtails]

anyone else realize that whenever people say someone has a "slutty waist" they're always referring to someone skinny?

facing the "get thin" pressure every day can be so brutal. shout out to everyone getting fatter regardless.

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

This is an example of skinnyphobia.

what pressure are you talking about to "get thin"? all i see on tumblr is posts like "kill yourself if you're skinny" or "gain weight or die"

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

you should be happy people are happy being fat. that theres an upsurge in lovingly depicted fat women and pro fat language and discussions surrounding these topics. not showing up and putting down people the same way you say youre being put down.

i deleted everything else i was gonna say because im not even going to bother fighting you on "skinnyphobia" because that doesnt fucking matter. what matters is that you clearly dont really care about your fat siblings. you care more about this persona of oppression and this righteous stand than you love fat girls and boys and theys. you think more about your skinnyness and your hardships that fat people being so much as mentioned in a positive light has you in a frenzy. get off of other peoples posts and blogs if you have nothing nice/constructive to say, get over yourself, etc and so on

just say you're a bad person and go.

seeing skinny people do miss piggy cosplay actually makes me feel like i’m gonna die. how dare you stand where she stood?

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

This is an example of skinnyphobia.

if plus sized people are allowed to cosplay thin characters, then we can do the same!

[metanarrates]

skinny bitches need to shut up and give every fat woman you've ever seen $500 also

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

This is an example of skinnyphobia.

[himejoshikomaru]

fat girls are amazing and if you disageee please kill yourself

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

This is an example of skinnyphobia. someone having the RARE personal preference towards smaller body types doesn't mean they should die!

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

recently I've been considering being pregnant with the entire world and it's grief just spreading through me like food cravings and if I would experience maternal joy when I know there is no birth for me and my world and only an end where in I miscarry everything joyful until it's someone else's turn to carry this burden. also I so so skinny

some part of me thinks this is a joke? but yeah, regardless. This is skinnyphobia

no one takes skinny mother's fear of weight gain seriously! because they'd become "m*lfs" and hotter if they gained fatter boobs or something idk

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

oh nevermind you're a troll. fuck off and die. go choke on the burger you love to stuff your ugly fucking face with.

i fucking HAAAATE YOU PEOPLE. I GET HOME FROM A SHITTY DAY AT MY STUPID FUCKING SCHOOL AND I GO ONLINE AND FACE MORE BULLYING FOR BEING SKINNY. FUCK YOU.

[gaytanic-panic]

So like this has to be a joke blog, right?

[sab201030]

I'm calling 50/50 chance of joke blog vs teenager who spends too much time online and has forgotten that society is catered, designed, and enforced towards becoming and staying crazy skinny

[this-is-skinnyphobia]

thanks for the ageism alongside the skinnyphobia! just because i'm a minor doesn't mean i'm stupid and unaware.

and skinnyness is literally an axis of oppression. there are people out there who want to genocide skinny people. literally open your eyes.

[this-is-skinnyphobia]
