I have a friend that likes to pick up all of the girls in a swinging hug before he leaves. He went through all of the girls and I just figured that he was going to give me a regular hug. Instead, he wrapped his arms around me and scooped me into the air like I weighed nothing. Obviously, I was caught off guard and, as a heavy person, was not used to being lifted in the air. When I asked him about it later, he laughed it off, not realizing that he had made me feel more normal and accepted in those ten seconds than most people in my entire life.

Thin privilege is being able to have the ignorance that comes with not being treated differently because of your size.
