Nothing makes me more irritated that “thin privilege”

Yeah, tell that to my brother who is constantly picked on for being too thin. Because of our Cystic Fibrosis, he can’t gain weight easily, no matter how much he eats. He has so many health problems because of it. My brother isn’t healthy. He’s been so close to having to have a GI tube put in him so that he can get above the “underweight” category. But these people are trying to tell me that he’s SO PRIVILEGED because he’s thin? Hell no. And at the same time, I’m not saying that he’s oppressed or anything at all. The fact of the matter is: people are jerks and will make you feel bad about yourself no matter that. That’s not “oppression”.

Oppression is having a law stating it’s okay to kill fat people, or it’s okay to deny them basic human rights. No laws state this.

Being too skinny is unhealthy. Everyone knows that. Being too fat is also unhealthy. Stop saying it’s okay to be 350+ pounds and denying that fact that YOU ARE SICK.

And seriously shut the fuck up about thin privilege. It doesn’t exist. You’re literally so privileged that you can eat to the point where you become overweight, and blog about how unfairly you’re being treated on the internet.

Do something productive with your lives.
