I don't like how people talk about XXS women

I hear people say that thin women, in particular thin flat chested women look like children or that they look like a boy.

I don't like how people talk about clothes for XXS women. How people say no women should fit in them, and how those clothes are for children.

I don't like how when there is just a thin woman just existing online, everyone feels the need to have an opinion on their body and "diagnose" them with some health problem or eating disorder. Or being told to "just gain weight". No, I can't just gain weight. No I am not sick, I'm perfectly healthy. You never know what's going on, and healthy people come in all different shapes and sizes.

But I also feel guilty when people around me talk about wanting to loose more weight and become thinner, even though they're perfectly fine. Sometimes I wonder if I am really am a bad influence existing how I am.

I'm tired of getting body shamed and seeing celebrities and people online with a similar body type to me get body shamed. I recently watched "The Handmaiden" and what stood out to me was seeing body types like mine be seen as attractive. It was nice seeing that when I've been shamed for being skinny for years and told that its not attractive and that no one would want me.

Lets just not shame people for their weight and to have affordable and accessible clothes for all sizes. We all need clothes that fit and respect.
