Thin privilege is not being afraid to ask out someone else of your body size because you’re afraid of what people will say about you as a couple. It’s knowing that people will believe you when you say you’re attracted to this friend’s strong character, quick wit, broad intellect, shared hobbies–AND, can you believe it, appearance. It’s not having to wonder if they’ll snicker at you behind your back and say mockingly, “Well, that’s the best anyone who looks like *that* could hope to do."
