"Anorexxxy" sunglasses -- can you believe it?

We did this! The now-named, "Menopausal Hen Jenn," along with some other moms of ED's hostages, friends/allies, and ED's hostages, themselves (myself included) made change happen:
Thierry Lasry's "Anorexxxy" frames are now called, "Axxxexxxy!"
The sunglasses will from now on be stamped "AXXXEXXXY" instead of "ANOREXXXY."
I can't think of any activism I've been a part of - Lusty Lady included - that has yielded positive results so quickly...just 4 days!
Yes, the designer Thierry Lasry's apology was half-assed, but he bent under our pressure, responded, and suddenly everyone wins: Thierry gets more exposure and we get more platforms.
It was never about the glasses. It was - and is - about the travesty of trivializing this disease.

Can we fight...

Can we fight thin privilege without telling people how many lbs/kgs they should gain? I was recently told I should gain 40 lbs by a guy. It was a privileged guy, if it matters, and it was out of line. I am 30 lbs underweight give or take, so yeah, I get that I will not visually appeal to many people, but my body isn't public property, even though images of it are published on the net, so...show some "class," please, dude.
