Thin privilege is not having your size associated with a bad person.

I was telling my friend’s family a story about how while I had been out that day, someone had been rude to me (hit me with a door in the bathroom and did not apologize). Her little sister said, “this might be a weird question, but were they fat?” Her family called her out, but it hurt me a lot that the idea of fat=rude is so pervasive in our culture that a kid raised in a family that teaches against that would associate the two strongly. Furthermore that she would say that to a chubby girl–as I’ve noticed, if people don’t like me, they think I’m fat, and if they do like me, they tell me I’m not when I try to self-identify in a positive way as fat or chubby, because that couldn’t possibly be a thing I could like about myself, right?
