14 Things You Should Never Say To Skinny Girls

If you're a skinny girl like me, you're probably a veteran in people commenting on your weight. When the wind really picks up one day, someone is bound to tell you, "Hey, better watch out! You might blow away!" Some people are just oddly fascinated with skinny women, and as a skinny woman, it's weird. There is no novelty about my body because it has a more slender build. I'm a person with a thin frame, and that's about as interesting as it gets. Apart from the wind comment, there are plenty of uncomfortable, unnecessary, and downright rude things that people find they must say to skinny girls that just shouldn't be said. Here are some of them:

1. "Do you ever eat anything, like ever?"

No. I am magically able to remain alive by consuming absolutely nothing. This is the dumbest question in the entire world. No duh I eat. Actually, I eat all the time. I love food. My body just digests it differently than other people's does.

2. "I could break you like a toothpick!"

That's an uncomfortable statement. Please don't do that. It would hurt.

3. "You have, like, no boobs."

Really? All the conversation topics in the world and you're going to go with that?

4. "You're skinny. You have nothing to be self-conscious about. Stop complaining about how you look."

Riiight, I forgot only full-figured women are allowed to have body issues. No, do not say this to skinny girls. It's annoying. We have every right to be self-conscious about our bodies, too.

5. "There's no way you're going to eat all that."

Oh yeah? Watch me.

6. "Why are you going to the gym? You don't need to work out."

Because I want to? Also, skinny does not mean healthy. Everyone needs to exercise.

7. "How would you know anything about struggling with your weight? You're skinny."

OK, first of all, you have no idea what my health conditions are like. Secondly, you're rude. Gaining weight can be extremely hard, depending on your body. Don't ask this question. It makes you look like a jerk.

8. Men: "I have bigger boobs than you."

Congratulations! Would you like an award?

9. "You look anorexic."

Why would you ever tell someone this?! Why?! That is a disease, not a description. If you say this to a skinny woman, or any skinny person for that matter, just take your wrongness and go somewhere else and be wrong.

10. "Meat is for men. Bones are for dogs."

Did you just...did you just...what? No. No, no, no. Get out and don't come back. You are Captain Idiot of the Dumb Army, and we are deploying you to the Island of Morons for the rest of your life.

11. "Skinny girls have no problems shopping for clothes."

Bruh, let me tell you about how many shirts and dresses I have wanted to buy and couldn't because my boobs were too small for them. Bracelets? Yeah, you can forget about that because my wrists are too tiny for that mess. Skinny girls have shopping issues, too.

12. "Real women have curves."

Do me a favor and just get out because I don't even want to look at you.

13. "You're eating a salad? No wonder you're skinny. Eat a cheeseburger!"

If I want to eat a salad, I'll do it. If I want to eat a cheeseburger, I'll do it. Don't tell me how to eat my food, son. Bippity boppity back the hell up!

14. "I can see all of your bones."

Thanks for telling me. I had no clue.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
