fatphobia and skinnyphobia are nothing alike. any type of body shaming is extremely unacceptable but this has been bothering me for a while. First off, skinny people have the “desired” body type. by this i mean that most media representation of beauty, is
pictures of tall, skinny women. plus sized women dont get that priviledge. second of all skinny people find it way easier to find clothes than plus sized people. I rarely see larger sizes, especially on online shops, and on the ones which do have a plus sized range, the
plus sized clothes are more expensive than the average clothes. on this subject, there is often less availability in bigger sizes because they stock less plus sized clothes. thirdly, skinny people in general dont face the discrimination that plus sized people do. plus sized
people are constantly pressured into weight loss and this can actually become dangerous. i know from experience that people walk past us in the street and whisper to their children “dont you ever become that size” or mutter under their breath “disgusting”. fourthly, plus sized
people ( epsecially in movies ) are humoured, and portrayed as ugly and undesirable and ALOT of movies portray weight loss as a glow up ( insatiable, and hannah in pretty little liars
especially ). this is dangerous also because again it glamourises extrem weight loss.

in general, plus sized people are discriminated against constantly, and told its not okay to look the way they should look. body shaming is so rife in society and the media and that needs to change. im so sorry to any beautiful person, who has ever been made to feel
less than someone else, because of their weight and size. you are beautiful and you are loved!!
