Phrases like thin privilege seem weird to me. and I noticed that leftist sre quicker to assume are sctionarcy skinny.
I whould have thought it have been the opposite? outside the west arent the poorest people skinny? not saying that weight determines you as privileged or not.
I don't think anyone here is saying that, but we're a leftist space and not a liberal/progressive space.
And what you're describing is the way poverty manifests in different places. Skinny people could have an eating disorder or struggle to afford food enough to maintain a safe body weight, but it's a no-win situation however you look when you're poor.
It's a Morton's Fork situation. If you're fat and homeless, you obviously don't need support because you are eating enough. I'd you're skinny and homeless, you're probably abusing drugs or spending money on booze instead of food.
In the US at least, because that's my only point of lived experience, if you're fat, you're not working hard. There is this weird math in play that says it doesn't matter how much you eat if you exercise hard enough to balance it out.
You can be skinny, but if you can't do your job then you're weak and considered useless. Remarks against skinny people hurt, as does any body shaming, but there isn't the same history of shaming in the US. I think that comes from the warped misunderstanding of work ethic and the signs of work on the human body.
Just as an example of things I see more as a gay man - "no fat, no fem, white only" is something that is still common on the apps. There is probably an intersection where skinny falls under 'fem' but it's not explicitly called out in the same way.
