This is Thin Privilege

On the subject of eating disorders

I’ve noticed if a larger person says they have one it’s always “oh you just eat too much/you want attention/not thin enough/stop lying”.

I watched a good friend of mine go from a large woman into a small one very drastically, it was obvious she was sick and needed medical help, but almost everyone was saying well done to her
“Oh wow you look so much better now”
She’d honestly be passing out and missing periods and people would still insist that this was better than her being fat. Which is twisted, what kind of a person would rather someone was sick and very thin than healthy, happy and over weight?
