      Right. Now which do you think Taylor Swift had? Do you think that she felt pressure to get bigger, and over-ate in a attempt to bulk up, or felt the need to get smaller, and starved herself? What do you think the most likely eating disorder is for Taylor Swift, a female pop star, to develop?

          If I seem hostile, it’s because your comments come across as though you’re trying to say, “Just because Swift had an eating disorder, it doesn’t mean she’s skinny.” And while I don’t much care for Swift, saying this woman isn’t skinny is absurd and indicative of the fucked-up beauty standards that cause women to develop eating disorders. So, if that wasn’t your intention, I apologize, but jumping in to (incorrectly) tell me the definition of an eating disorder and then point out that eating disorders can also include weight gain (even though the context made it clear I was referring to anorexia or bulimia) sure makes it sound like you’re trying to say Swift is heavy.
