Alana Is Reading

Thin privilege: being able to get women’s uniform shirts in your size at work instead of having to resort to the men’s 3XL and being reminded every time you put your shirt on that you’re too fat to wear clothing made for women and having to put up with something that looks like a sack because your company refuses to get shirts that fit you.

That applies to buying t-shirts in general.  I have never been able to wear a women’s t-shirt because the women’s sizes most places only go up to XL, or XXL if you’re really lucky, but that XXL in women’s will be the same chest measurement as a men’s L.  So if you’re a nerdy girl who likes t-shirts with things written on them, you have to settle for a men’s shirt.  All the time.
