People always stand up to stop fatshaming and expect thick people to be treated equally, but they forget that skinnyshaming is bodyshaming too.

And eventhough people who say skinnyshaming has to stop too, outer sentences like „you can't even relate you are so skinny" or „what would you even have to be dissatisfied about you don't even have any fat on your body". Don't you get that exactly these sentences mean skinnyshaming?

Everybody's dream is literally to eat without gaining weight but haven't you ever thought about people wanting to gain weight but aren't able to? Haven't you ever thought about people who think they are not beautiful BECAUSE they are skinny. Seems unreal, isn't it? But „who wants bones to grab"? „There is nothing to look at."
Can we just start to stop comparing bodies like this and appreciate every single one of it. „Yeah but you don't have to deal with feeling insecure about your body fat." Probably not, but can you imagine not being allowed to speak out one insecurity about your own body because „it isn't that bad" or because „being skinny makes life so much easier". Not being allowed to talk about other body types you might admire because „you shouldn't complain as you're already skinny".

Having to rethink every word in a conversation because people don't even notice while bodyshaming someone, hurting feelings or putting their insecurities above others because „being skinny is not a problem". It is not, but you are turning it into one with your inappropriative comments.

It would probably be a good start if people would think about what they were saying. Rethinking wether one problem is really more important than another because what you feel coulb be felt completely different by others.
