This is Thin Privilege

Why do all of your stories happen at the doctor? Either you’re lying, or you people spend way too much time at the doctor considering you “hate” them… You do know normal people don’t visit the doctor that often, right?

Mod comment:

Oh, I do so love it when they supposedly read this blog and still manage to miss that there are submissions from thousands of people on here. Doctors and medical professionals have a demonstrate bias against fat people, so a lot of incidents happen at doctors. Every fat person I know has stories about how this doctor or that nurse. Of course we get a ton of them. But some people are so fucking busy stoking their own hatred that they can’t see what’s obvious.
