Yeah, I mean, I think I feel similarly to Emma. And what I think was particularly obnoxious about it, if you unpack it, is saying, I really enjoy this form of unjust privilege that places me in at a major advantage over people who are larger than me when it comes to all sorts of aspects of life that are important. I mean, it's true that it is often easier

for thin people when it comes to employment and education and certainly healthcare. But the answer to that is not just revel in one person's thinness, it's to make the world accessible to all and to dismantle systems of oppression.

I think as well as the backlash that we're seeing to that moment of body positivity, I think there is also this technological aspect of it where the advent of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have meant that there is this now means for some people with means of accessing thinness in a new way.

And because that takes capital, it takes money, it takes socioeconomic status to access, it is now a marker of elevated socioeconomic status to be very, very thin or to lose weight.

Yeah, I mean, that's the kernel of truth in her video. And I do think compassion is warranted. It is in many ways easier to access goods that are in particularly short supply for marginalized folks if you have that cultural capital of thinness. And there was a particular phrase of hers. She said that her favorite thing to fear is not being skinny.
