It's 2020, and we've come a long way in terms of societal body positivity acceptance, but we still have a long way to go. Adele revealed a noticeably thinner figure on Instagram the other day, and the media and social commentators alike are having a field day. There's one main issue with this — she didn't make the Instagram post for her body to be the topic of discussion. She was simply celebrating her birthday and the fact that instead of wishing her a happy birthday, her noticeably skinnier figure was the topic of discussion. There's something wrong with this.

Our society loves to tell individuals, particularly women, that "we would be so much prettier if we were skinnier," and that's total bull. Women above a certain weight are systematically devalued and seen as "less than" their skinnier female counterparts. This kind of attitude is detrimental to everyone's health. For years, many people have claimed that they're "simply concerned" about the health and well-being of people above a certain size — that's simply an excuse to hide the fact that some people are just fatphobic.

There is no right way to have a body.

If Adele isn't bragging about the fact that she's now lost all of the weight that she had before, we shouldn't be glorifying that fact. We also shouldn't be saying, "Wow, she's so pretty now." This implies that she was somehow ugly because she weighed more than what people thought she should, and this is super problematic and honestly, fatphobic as well.

Newsflash: A person is not less of a person simply because they take up more space when they walk into a room. We are all people and we are all just trying our best to get by living in these crazy times that we're living in. It's hard enough to walk through this world, we all need to make it easier on everyone and just be a little bit kinder. Adele's weight loss and the massive amount of new "fans" she has gotten because of this just shows how messed up our priorities are in this world.

She was filling up arenas before she lost the weight, and she'll damn sure still sell out venues after — the point is not her weight loss, it's society's reaction to her weight loss.
