Thin privilege is not hesitating to ask for help when having a medical emergency, and not being ridiculed for being in a life-threatening situation. Thin privilege is when you choke on breakfast and are unable to breathe, and your first thought isn’t “Should I get someone to help, or should I run to the bathroom and try to give myself the Heimlich so that no one will see?” Thin privilege is not worrying that if you ask for help, everyone at work will think you’re the fat pig that shoveled too much food into your face too fast and that you deserved it. Thin privilege is not hearing your coworkers later comment on how they’re glad they didn’t have to help because they didn’t like the idea of having to put their arms around you, even if it was TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.
