no fatties
In stupid_free, there's a post about a girl who is 5'4" and 90lbs, fishing for compliments in ask_me_anything.

[info]isolationista: There's really nothing wrong with preferring to be skinny.
[info]jade_faith: They also said there was nothing wrong with antidepressants, until the suicides started popping up.

And they're off! Look out for [info]blasphemae implying that "underweight!=skinny". And then "underweight=skinny", a few posts later!

Please, no fatbashing.

I have a sister who was 5'7 before she weighed much over 1'10--partially because we're Pacific Islander-blooded, partially because she's got really terrible asthma. She'd get people coming up to her on the street asking how she could live with herself when she was so obviously anorexic, that sort of bullshit. I kinda wanted to walk around behind her with a hammer, just clonging people left and right.

1'10?

This notation makes me think she weighs 1 foot. D:

I had someone cut me off in the middle of a conversation with a friend, eyeing me up and down, then telling me "You're sickeningly skinny. People like you disgust me!"

At the time I'd recently lost weight due to surgery, but for a 5' I don't think I was that bone thin :S

I wonder how long it's going to take before someone here throws a tantrum & bitches that anyone who is skinny mentioning that they've gotten shitty treatment at some point means they have a persecution complex

Newsflash guys: No one is saying skinny people are persecuted. No one is saying larger people don't face any sort of criticism. A skinny person mentioning they get hassle because people think they're anorexic in no way invalidates the experience of a larger person getting called a fattie & told to go on a diet.

Yes, larger people do face a lot more negative reactions. But false assumptions & insults are still false assumptions & insults whatever the size of the person they're directed.

I don't even *know* my weight. And every time this sort of wank comes up I become less curious if anything - people seem so fixated on a silly number.

I have a friend who I thought was anorexic, as she has a few issues on the side, but apparently she's just skinny.

I'm hoping, anyway.
