Thin privilege is trying to invalidate fat acceptance by insisting that you’ve “worked so hard” on your own thinness. OK, champ, sure, you’ve “worked hard” for it. Are you actually any better or more interesting of a person for it? Are you more knowledgeable, more understanding, more empathetic? Or have you just put all this time and effort into acquiring a status symbol? Weight loss isn’t a hobby or character development. Weight loss isn’t a skill to be learned or a negative personality trait to be worked on. Acquiring thin privilege doesn’t make you more deserving of respect anymore than acquiring a Rolex or an iPhone does.
