Thin privilege is not having to excuse virtually every comedian, musician, politician, and other public figure whose views you otherwise admire for the fact that they hate you and everyone with your body type. Because if you don’t let a good amount of fatphobia go, there are very few public figures left to choose from.

oh so this is why you were researching religious bjs!

It’s true: I was trying to find a way to convey to readers precisely how impractical mainstream Catholic doctrine about sex is. And you can put it…

Last year, I went to a spine center because I had a herniated disc in my back. I had been treated for it before, so I knew that was the issue. I was in horrible pain. The doctor walked in, looked at me, and then told me to lose weight and then I’d feel better. Luckily, a nurse saw me sobbing after he left and had a PA come in to see me. She ordered an immediate MRI, which showed I had one of the worst herniations my neurologist has ever seen. I ended up having last minute surgery so I wouldn’t permanently lose bowel control.

This happened to my grandma a couple times. She has bad knees (because, you know, she’s old). But the doctors told her they wouldn’t do anything for her until she lost a ridiculous amount of weight. Except she couldn’t do that until she got her knees replaced. So they basically forced her to get bariatric surgery to get her weight down, and they still won’t treat her. So fuck doctors forever.

This is important to see and understand for everyone. Please, if you see someone in a public restroom that you think might not belong there because they don’t look like you, don’t scream or yell at them, have some compassion and go about your business.
