My doctor recently diagnosed me with a syndrome and encouraged me to regulate it by eating lots of salty things like soup. His words exactly: “go to town on potato chips.” If I hadn’t had any thin privilege, would he have said the same thing? I don’t know for sure, but from what I’ve read here, probably not. Unfortunately, it is entirely likely that he would have dismissed me with a wave of his hand and a “go lose x pounds, you’ll feel better.” It’s very sad that this is so often the case. There is no good reason why anyone should treat anyone else any differently simply because of appearance or a private number on a scale. Thin privilege is getting care you deserve. It’s complete BS.
