What is your relationship with thinness? This is sparked by the slim kim controversy on tik tok-

for those of you who don't know- slim kim is a black woman content creator who made a video saying that she is her happiest when she is the thinnest (or something amongst those lines). This obviously devolved into tons of conversations about body positivity and cultural beauty standards.

My father is black and my mother is puerto rican, and being thin has always been praised in my family. I definitely feel my best when i am my thinnest, and i am very aware that is a part of the white beauty standard. But i also don't have the energy to combat it. Thinness has been ingrained in me (through misogony and white beauty standard) since i was a child and I don't think i have the strength or desire to combat that part of my experience at my age.
