Thin privilege means your cancer will be properly diagnosed in time and the pain you’re experiencing won’t be dismissed by an asshole doctor who jokes about you holding weight in your stomach area being the reason you’re in pain, so the cancer won’t have time to spread. Thin privilege means that you won’t have to go months in pain because the doctors aren’t taking you seriously, so when your cancer IS finally caught, by someone who isn’t even a doctor, it hasn’t spread.

Ties into white privilege, which means every doctor will care about you and actually give a damn about you having cancer, and you won’t be talked over, or turned away from the Cancer Treatment Center of America, and you won’t have your treatments stopped by lazy doctors who simply don’t want to waste anymore time on you but instead come up with the BS excuse that the treatments weren’t working, even when they were. You won’t go ignored as you lay dying in the hospital, and doctors and nurses won’t decide to stop feeding you or even giving you water, because you’re thin and white so they won’t regard you as less than an animal and they’d rather starve you and let you become more dehydrated than properly care for you.

Oh, and should you die from cancer due to the negligence of the medical community, lawyers will actually take your family seriously when your family wants to file lawsuits for malpractice, and your family won’t be lied to and told there’s nothing that can be done.

Happened to my mom. Anyone who thinks thin privilege and white privilege aren’t real is an asshole. I will NEVER AGAIN trust ANY doctor. I hate them all, every last one of them. Mom would still be alive today if they didn’t all have a God complex and think anyone who isn’t a white twig doesn’t deserve basic respect and care. I hate all doctors and will NEVER forgive them.



“They’re not all like that.”

BS. Yes they are. They ALL are. I HATE THEM!!
