Thin Privilege is being able to fit in the desks of your kinesiology class.

Thin Privilege is never having to drop a class because you feel so uncomfortable and judged as the only person in the class with your body type.

Thin Privilege is being able to take a class called Health Related Exercise Prescription and be completely comfortable.

I went to the first day of the class and did exceptionally well, I even got an “That’s an amazing answer” from my teacher! The class is about prescribing exercise regimes and motivating patients so that they can do them. I really enjoyed it.

But I couldn’t flip the table part of the desk over so I had to use my laptop on my lap which was uncomfortable. I was also the only non thin or average sized person in the room. I knew that if I took the class I would never be motivated to go because I would be embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Thin Privilege is never having your weight or body shape affect what class you want to take.
