Thin privilege is knowing that, while you might be denied an abortion, it won’t just be because of your size. Thin privilege is knowing that the ultrasound machines at your nearest clinic will be powerful enough to clearly see into your uterus so that your doctor can perform an abortion (or other procedure) for you. Thin privilege is having numerous articles written about states and others denying your reproductive rights instead of having it mentioned in passing in one article as a throwaway sentence that’s not worth examining. It doesn’t have to be this way. Medical supply companies should make ultrasound machines that work for all of the population. Veterinarians manage it - why can’t human doctors and medical suppliers?
