Thin privilege is having doctors prescribe the medicine that you NEED, regardless of whether or not it’ll make you gain weight.

My doctor today outright refused to prescribe me my antidepressants and anxiety medication for fear I’ll gain more weight, knowing I have an extreme history of severe depression and suicide attempts. He told me once I lost “enough” weight I could have them back again. He then proceeded to fat shame me for an hour and refused to let me leave by blocking the door, even though I tried.

Thin privilege is getting quality healthcare and being treated as a human being in general.
