I was going home from school by train. As I was about to leave the subway, my book bag got stuck between the bars of the turnstile and I couldn’t get out. Some guy behind me yelled, “get out of the way fatty” despite there being three other exists he could have taken. The reason why I was stuck was because of my book bag, not because of my size.

Thin Privilege is not having your weight be the reason that you are blocking the train exit.
