Thin privilege is not being told that you’re not a candidate for back surgery only because there’s “too much fat to hold back”. I was a size 14 and where they would be doing the surgery there wasn’t even a lot of fat as I carry it elsewhere on my body! Goodness forbid someone with fat on their bodies would require surgery. :/ Before my injury I was a size 6 and already I have seen the effects of thin privilege leaving bit by bit but being denied surgery for being ‘too fat’ when I’m still just a small-fat-arguably-average has made me horrified for others in the healthcare system as well as looking forward to a bleak future being reliant on it because of my injuries.
