This is Thin Privilege

Thin privilege is having doctors care to learn more about your body.
[TW: weight loss, talk of dead bodies, discrimination]

Many times in this sub have I seen submitters discuss how their doctors tend to prescribe weight loss for their issues instead of prescribing what they would give to a thinner person. People who are pro-medical industry state that this is because doctors have difficulty working on fat bodies, but check this link out: LINK

As a TL;DR, a fat person’s dead body was donated to science, however, it was rejected. This would have been the PERFECT opportunity for doctors to take in a fat body and STUDY how it works so that fat people can be given proper treatment for their medical issues.

Lets face it: you don’t want to work on fat bodies because it is “unnecessarily difficult” to, it’s because you CHOOSE not to.

Thin Privilege is not having to hear “I can literally hear you getting fat” while perusing your favourite celebrity gossip site. I can’t take Ohnotheydidnt and their constant body shaming.
