The clothing industry caters less to any one type of body size now, than it ever has at any point in history before this Wal-mart era. Before WWII, it didn't matter what size or proportion you were, your clothes were literally tailored to your body. It was the only way.
Finding clothes your size is extremely difficult no matter your size. Off the rack clothes are made with so much wiggle room, and with no set standard size, that they'll at least get on your body, but no promise is made towards looking good or feeling right. I don't think clothing size options are as much the problem, as its just pretty hard to even tailor clothes to the body. That's why it's an art and a craft.
I would be happy to see people invest in quality clothing that fits their body and last for generations, and get rid of this throw away crap they sell now. We're too used to it now.
Ha I've added nothing. My point is I don't think thin privilege even registers as far as what's offered for clothing to fit different body types.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
