nah not really. ur dismissing the maltreatment of a certain group simply cause you think you have it “worse” why don’t we all agree body shaming to any extent is harmful. i’ve been told i look like a 13 yr old boy because of my body. ive had ppl literally compare theyre healthy weight to mine and laugh. it’s not a competition and u can show decent kindness to those who experience all sides of body shaming cause i would never shame someone for their size no matter which side it’s on.
tell that to all the ppl in my life who look at me like i chose to lose all my healthy weight. tell that to the ppl who told me they’d rather die then look like me. u being dismissive makes u no better sorry cause like i said id never imagine telling someone those things and id never imagine speaking on anyone’s body in total. it’s not ur place. how r u gonna cry when ppl do it to u then go and do the same thing to other ppl. do better.
so let’s get this straight. i tell u im literally in a medical condition where im severely underweight (literally dying) and you think that equates to “oh she’s skinny and pretty i don’t feel sorry for her?” like i said. body shaming to ANY extent is wrong. idk y u think its ok to do to others. hope u find peace one day cause this is sad. literally agree that u shouldn’t body shame and here u are body shaming.
my dad has severe crohn’s. he was diagnosed when he was 20 and he’s now 61. he spends 50% of his day on the toilet and can’t eat anything without worrying, but he’s not dying from it. if that was the case, he would’ve died a long time ago. crohn’s can lead to other issues, sure, but crohn’s alone doesn’t mean you’re dying.
i didn’t say it does but if you know the general premise around it you know it can lead to complications in your health that can be fatal such as the malabsorption of nutrients. i’ve literally been rushed to the hospital plenty of times of fainting due to the malnourishment because my body simply rejects the food. idk what u want me to tell you but 80lbs and rapidly dropping due to the disease and literally being told by my doctors i think ik the state im in medically…
I’m not starting the argument again but since I am the OP I will reply to give my opinion. I have many plus sized people in my life and family. I first hand hear the struggles they talk about, I will never say I have it worse than them. But I see a sentiment that some plus sized people have, and it’s that they hold this anger that doesn’t leave any room for sympathy towards other people and they live their lives through resentment towards people who have done nothing to them. 1)
Skinny people do get treated horribly by others including in the medical field. I have been dismissed multiple times by my doctors because “you have to eat more and the problem will fix” but half of the time when we talk about it we are shouted at to essentially shut our mouths because we are a “standard” despite when I was growing up other people told me I wasn’t. There is such a thing as being too skinny for our world’s beauty standards and they will let you know that. This comes to a point
Point being. There’s a lot of issues in this world, you can’t be overweight or underweight. Talking w my plus sized friends we bonded over how a lot of our problems mirror eachother. Alot of people misplace their resentment to super skinny people. The girls who are getting picked on aren’t the ones who are calling you fat, it’s the people who called you fat who are calling those girls too skinny. It’s a common enemy.
Also binge eating is an eating disorder. It hurts girls who feel like they need to gain weight to be pretty. There’s also a whole flip side to body insecurity surrounding that same eating disorder. I think we forget that because anorexia is talked about so much. And because it’s so forgotten about that people just slam down against girls struggles simply because “you’re not struggling like I am so shut up” Where’s the humanity in that?
