The Toxic Pressure for Tall Women to Be Smaller | “Act Your Weight” & the Rise of SkinniTok

The Toxic Pressure for Tall Women to Be Smaller | “Act Your Weight” & the Rise of SkinniTok

We all scroll on social media and come across hundreds and hundreds of pieces of content throughout the week.

Some funny, some relatable, and some harmful.

And today, we’re talking about a harmful piece of content.

The topic of weight is already a controversial and tricky one, especially in the tall girl community. Because everyone’s body is different and complex, when there’s talk about weight and what’s considered a “good weight”, there can be a lot of misinformation without thinking about genetics, body structure, and even height.

So today, we’re talking about a TikTok viral video that relates to this and how it’s harmful for tall women. Disclaimer: this episode includes topics around weight and disordered eating. If this is triggering for you, don’t tune in, but if not, feel free to check out the full episode!
