Shopping should be the ultimate test for deniers of thin privilege. Yesterday, I decided to buy some workout pants/shorts. I’m extremely privileged, because when I was annoyed at the extravagant price and poor fit of the women’s selection, I just bought out of the tween section. The yoga pants were almost identical styles, the same material and $10-12 bucks cheaper.

You know how big the biggest size was in the women’s? A shrimpy looking XL, no options for XX+ in the back (I asked a very confused salesperson if they stocked bigger than XL). That XL was maybe a size 8/10. The options for bigger women are basically go online and spend x2-3 the price for the straight sizing or go without.

The point is, thin people can always, always, always size down because clothes are made for thin people. C'mon, fellow thin people, look at the US by extension of what you find in stores and admit it’s made to glorify and facilitate OUR SIZE.
