This is a screenshot of posts from an article on Jahi McMath, who suffered complications from a tonsil surgery and is now on life support.

Thin privilege is knowing if you should get ill, or have a medical complication it won’t be blamed on your body. Thin privilege is the knowledge if something bad should happen to you, it will be a tragedy, not an issue of if you’re to blame because your natural body size made it harder for doctors to do their job. That it’s unlikely medical complications will happen to you, because medical equipment is made with thin people in mind. If fat people get sick it’s always their fault, if a thin person gets sick it’s a tragedy, regardless of if they made life decisions that could’ve caused their illness.
