So, this is apparently a thing now 
According to a lingerie blogger on twitter anyway. But it seems to have made its way into various news websites (BBC, Metro etc)
When will it end |

"Is it a thing? I'm thin but it doesn't make me feel priveleged, it's just the way it is."
Being able to comfortably sit in airplane seats and having a wide variety of clothes in your size is an example of thin privilege |

I see, it still doesn't make me feel priveleged though.
And try buying trousers that fit with a 32 inch leg and 28 inch waist, it's not as easy as you think.  |

It's a nightmare, no internet shopping for me, when they say a 30-32 inch waist is small. Everything has to be tried on first.  |

"Not if you're a mountaineer, if you get into difficulties then statistically the fat ones survive rather than the thin ones.  "
They're more likely to bounce when they fall off?  |

Okay I’ve read a bit about what she’s tweeting and this comment makes sense re the terminology “Thin Privilege.”
In a series of tweets, she explains that thin privilege is not needing to fend off harassment and judgement for your size or for what you're eating. |

In the same sense that being able to breathe air is an example of alive privilege |

My sisters used to harass me when I was a kid, for being skinny.
My husband used to take the piss out of my little boobs, when they disappeared after my second child.

I am slim cos i dont want to be fat. Could quite easily get fat if i wanted to but i dont. I still have plenty of curves in all the right places and am happy and confident with myself. I dont feel privileged but i do feel content as i have the will power to eat healthy and exercise regularly to maintain a healthy weight and body shape. |

Haha. That'll teach you to generalise. "

Is this really a thing?
Seems like another way to try and make slim people feel bad for being slim.
I’ve seen it from another blogger who is plus size and it just sounded full of hate.
Ridiculous! |

So they dream up a term they can use to harass thin people with?
Gotta love Twitter |

"I haven't felt the need to fend off harrassment about my weight or what I eat, now I'm fat.
People can say what they want to me, even thin people "
When I lost a lot of weight people often commented on what I was eating. "Oh you'll get fat again eating that cake!" "You should eat something or you'll fade away to nothing!"
Now I'm fat again they never comment on how I look or what I eat. |

Some excellent YouTube videos exploring and poking fun at this non issue.
Basically some miserable people decide because they are not something then it’s a privilege and then waffle on about it’s important to understand privilege in a whiney voice. Misery projection. |

So, when I was thin there was nothing sexy about me, but now I have a thick layer of fat, I can be considered sexy? |

I'm definitely a yo yo dieter, and when I'm losing weight people always comment "oh don't lose too much" "I take it you're stopping, you've lost enough now" but then never say anything when I pile it back on! |

I did have one man friend that told me I was getting fat again. But he meant well and I loved it that he told me.
I think I prefer being 'invisible' when I'm fat. |

Haha try reversing the measuremnets for short arses like me. Still got to try everything on. Ive bought levi 501s with 32, 30 and then had to have a couple of inches taken of the leg length!.
I find all clothes sizes o trousers and jeans to generally be bullshit. Depends where you buy them!. Ted Baker shirts is another one!. Sizes range from 4 to 6 but all fit perfectly !! |

Same from my humble male point of view, I don't mind putting size on as long as it's muscle not fat. I'm an active person so hopefully I can keep it up for life. |
