Do you know why it is important to use your thin privilege to advocate for us rad fatties?
Because if you are in a thin body, your opinion holds more currency than our fat voices. Isn’t that messed up?
Check out the conversation we are having in my Curvy Girl Community about this subject here:

This is Jameela Jamil – I appreciate her using her thin privilege this way. As she says “I am not constantly persecuted for my size.” She realizes how rare this is and she is shining a light on how people of size get crappy treatment by doctors and other medical staff. She realizes that all of us whose goal is intersectional feminism – well then we have to include fat bodies in our activism.
But, most importantly, she is USING HER PLATFORM to help us all out and I am so grateful.
Are you thin? Can you add your voice to hers? We could really use your help.
