I really feel like this isn’t true, I can see how it’s glamorized in things like movies but there’s also movies like precious. I agree it’s glamorized, and shouldn’t be. But I do think an eating disorder is an eating disorder, whether you’re skinny or not. Mental illnesses have very a broad spectrum.
This isn’t what the post said at all tho— they’re saying that skinny ppl with Ed’s are given more consideration than fat ppl with EDs and advocating for ppl to be more considerate to both sides of the spectrum bc the double standard is bullshit— they weren’t saying skinny ppl’s EDs aren’t serious and shouldn’t be handled w/ compassion, they’re just pointing out how harshly fat ppl are judged even when it comes to their EDs
Ofc they have insecurities, who said otherwise? Bc of my ED experience, I’m very careful of how I talk about my body in front of others. Bc I know how it feels. Why can’t they have that same consideration for others? Gaining weight ≠ fat, they’d be a lot more successful in unpacking their fatphobia then talk about their bodies in fatphobic ways in front of others Another thing to unpack, why does the thought of looking like us cause this much distress?
