What about people who actually have thigh gaps? Are they dead to you too?

(Anonymous) 2017-08-28 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
No, but maybe people with thigh gaps could not act like they're being horribly oppressed if people don't like to see them portrayed in idealized female characters from children's cartoons. Some of us have starved ourselves trying to reach that ideal and still - no thigh gap.

NAYRT--damn, I'm so glad that this is one body image issue I don't personally give a fuck about. My self esteem is close to non-existent already. Even though I suspect if I ever lost my excess weight I'd have one, because even though I'm fat I have no butt or hips to speak of. I'd rather be hourglass shaped than skinny.

The most depressing part about losing weight was realizing that it wouldn't make me pretty. I was fat and when I lost weight, my stomach just got flatter. But that was it. I still had big shoulders, no boobs, no ass, no hips, no thigh gap. I kept thinking that if I lost more weight, my waist would pinch in and I might have hips, my thighs would get sleeker and more feminine. Nope. My ribs just started poking through.

AYRT--aside from the no boobs part--I have FF cups and I'm under five feet tall, so no way they'd disappear--I think I'd basically be column shaped if I lost enough weight to have a healthy normal BMI, except I'd have melons glued to my front. At my skinniest, I don't know if I had one because I didn't know that was a thing women were supposed to care about, and also even at my skinniest I wasn't exactly scrawny.

I do remember my mom had a thigh gap most of her life, even when she wasn't skinny, and asked why I didn't have one because otherwise we were basically the same shape, but I only knew she had one because she noticed I didn't and asked. I think someone would have to strike a thigh-gap enhancing pose in a swimsuit before I'd notice one.

Yeah, I feel this. I'm slim, but I've always been really insecure about the shape of my torso. I have very high hips. The space between the top of my hip bones and the bottom of my ribs is literally less than a finger's width. My ribs practically sit inside my hipbones. So I have almost no waist, and it always kind of looks like I have a muffin top, but it's mostly just bone. I try not to be insecure about it, but I always feel really self conscious in a bathing suit (or underwear/naked), like everybody's going to say, "You looked really skinny until you took your clothes off."
