"Lets talk about thin privilege" response

This article is extremely well written and is written by an author that has a very interesting standpoint. She defines thin privilege as you hating your body but society does not. It is a common misconnecption that if you're skinny you must be happy with your body. This is so untrue. There is too much hatred when it comes to people's body size. If you're too big you'll be attacked for that. If you're too skinny someone will attack you for that. “Women are such because they identify as women, curves or not".  

The way the author confronts the issue of an eating disorder is cautious, as it should be, "when you feel trapped in and controlled by your body, when you’ve reached that level of self-consciousness, when you’re suffering every single day just to make it through, it’s unlikely that you’ll feel like you’re experiencing privilege". She then continues to explain how being marginalized doesn't negate your privilege. 

Overall this was a very good essay and brought up various issues that are not discussed often enough. When talking about body shaming people automatically assume fatphobia so an article about shaming thin people is very fascinating.
