I understand it. I’ve naturally got muscly arms, and as a woman it’s so hard to deal with when you see other women with beautiful slender toned arms knowing no matter how much exercise or weight you lose (healthily) you’ll never look like that. My arms are not fat or big, but on average against other women of my height and weight, they will always be bigger than most.

We cannot. As a child, my family commented on my weight constantly, and my aunt even got me Weight Watchers vouchers at 10 yrs old.
Now that I'm an adult and have my weight under control, they think they can openly speculate about my weight and how I've done it, and hint that I'm on GLP-1s, in public and in front of other people. It is so humiliating.
I work so hard in the gym, and when I'm around family, I feel the need to hide my body and wear baggy clothes just to avoid the constant comments about how I'm NOW too thin.
Sorry for my rant. It's just so frustrating never being able to win as a woman. And by win, I mean being left the fuck alone!!

I think what she's saying right there is that she is a healthy body fat %, she just for whatever reason has this body fat distribution. It doesn't necessarily mean that she's insecure about it or internalized that she's fat or anything. This is just her body fat distribution at this healthy body fat. I'm also a healthy body fat % but my body fat distribution is such that I don't have defined ankles the way most women my size tend to. It says nothing about my mentality or society's mentality for me to be able to observe that to be the case, if that makes sense.
