thisisthinprivilege:
Thin privilege is going to the mall and being able to buy clothes. Not jewelry, not accessories, not (some!) socks— clothes.
Thin privilege is not having one store in an entire mall carrying your size, and even then having a limited collection.
Thin privilege is seeing something cute in stock in your size and not having to ‘look online for other sizes’.
Thin privilege is not running your clothes ragged, not because you can’t afford new clothes, but because you can’t find new clothes in your size.
Thin privilege is not being upset that a store is closing because your selection of clothes is halved as a result of the closing.
Thin privilege is being upset that your jeans are a year old, and now you need to buy new ones because they’re out of season now, while your plus size friend sits nearby in her four-year-old jeans and five-year-old T-shirt.
Thin privilege is being able to easily get new clothes.
Also, thin privilege is being able to afford clothes in your size! I went to Goodwill to try to scrounge up some long pants for winter, since mine have all become too short/gotten torn/gotten stained. I found one pair of mens’ sweatpants. Nothing in the women’s section, and the sweatpants were priced at a premium.
