Thin privilege is not having to change GPs because yours not only judges you harshly and openly on your nervous breakdown, but also criticizes you for putting on weight and therefore being “in poor health”… while she knows full well you have just stopped making yourself throw up.



I don’t know what to tell a doctor who thinks it’s healthier to have a potentially life-threatening eating disorder than to put on weight and who tries to convince a patient (me) that she has automatically developed Type 2 diabetes, a high blood pressure, and a high level of cholesterol for that reason while it’s completely unsupported by tests.
