Thin privilege is never catching a complete stranger taking your photo or filming you without your consent, for purpose of ridicule.
Thin privilege is never seeing yourself on the evening news, with your head cropped off in a story about preventing/eradicating you and people like you.
Been there, done that! My pudgy 11 year-old self was photographed and used in materials promoting the Canada Fitness program. Canadians over 30 will remember the grueling tests and the shuttle run. I appeared headless, doing sit-ups (and on my way towards earning the silver badge, a patronizing pat on the back for the fat or uncoordinated). A skinny kid with a head, and freckles and smile, appeared opposite doing the torturous “flexed arm hang”. Good times.
