Stuffies

Thin privilege is turning down the air conditioning without ever thinking of the fatter people in the room who aren’t nearly as cold as you are. 

Thin privilege is assuming yours is the default body: your comforts and discomforts are default; your width and weight are the defaults. 

I CANNOT BE THE ONLY FAT PERSON WHO GETS COLD.

I hate this idea that all fat people must be hot and sweaty. I’m not even sure that it’s true. I know a lot of thin people who are always hot and a lot of fat people who are always hot - and I live in Florida so maybe it’s just that most people are always hot and I’m imagining things here but.

I think the second part is the important thing here. Don’t assume. That includes fatties, too.

The one thing I know about being fat in this body is that all that stuff they tell you about “staying warmer in the winter” is BS. And when I’m hot, everyone else is hot too.
