Look, I preface this by saying I hesitate to weigh in. But I'm going to anyway. I'm mixed race. I've always been too thin (yeah that's a thing). I was never White or Black enough and too small. Heroin chic hurt me too because I was natuarally thin, and you know, not on dope.
I don't know all the answers. I'm married to a man that's trending toward 300 pounds. And I love every inch of him! Maybe our bodies should be nobody elses's business.
I don't want to be judged for my body. I don't want to be called a skinny bitch or held up as some societal pariah. I'm not mean, nasty or self-absorbed, I'm just thin. It's a genetic thing, deal with it. Just like some people are bigger.
A person's body is nobody's business. People are small, people are big, why aren't we over it?
