let’s talk about thin privilege for a moment.

thin privilege is being able to have a goddamn disability that puts you in a fucking wheelchair and not being told you wouldn’t be in that chair if you’d just stop eating all those cheeseburgers.

thin privilege is being able to join a goddamn forum related to your disability because you need a new wheelchair and wanted some advice, and not have your body ridiculed before you even sign the fuck up.

thin privilege is not having to read about your body type being compared to a “beached whale” by someone who says they “eat like a bird” because they “don’t want green peace to have to water” them.

there were a lot more comments. some like (i am paraphrasing) “morbidly obese people don’t need power chairs, they need to put down the cheeseburgers and walk some more.” or, this lovely gem: “i wish they would fly off of their power chair and knock down all the fat people wanting a power chair so they can make a mad dash to the refrigerator easier.”

people fucking suck.
