What is thin privilege?
Thin privilege happens when an individual is within the socially accepted body size range. It means that these individuals
will always be able to walk into a store and find their clothing size
will probably not be judged for what they’re eating
will always be able to fit into public transportation seats without having to worry about paying for a second seat
will always be fit by a seatbelt or other safety device
can see people that look like them portrayed positively in the media
will probably not have a vast array of personality judgments placed on them based on their appearance (i.e. they will not be thought lazy, gluttonous, stupid, or unhygienic based only on their body type)
will not be approached by people they barely know or have just met with dieting and exercise advice
will generally be subject to less ridicule
