A golden rule in the publication world, if you are going to make reference to someone, you might want to contact them first to get their approval. Well someone at Glamour magazine dropped the ball, and their latest issue of their Plus-Size Issue hit the stands listing four women under the category “Women Who Inspire Us”. Amy Schumer’s name appeared on that list along with Melissa McCarthy, Adele, and model Ashley Graham, but here’s the thing, the comedian doesn’t fall within the plus-sized category according to American size standards.

Schumer says it’s “not cool” that she was included in this issue and on Tuesday she posted a photo of the list on her Instagram account with this caption.

I think there’s nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women,” she posted on Instagram. “Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8. @glamourmag put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn’t feel right to me.

Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size? What are your thoughts?” Schumer added. “Mine are not cool glamour not glamourous

The 34-year-old comedian has been very vocal in the past about her body image, even making jokes about the topic that are featured in her Comedy Central one hour special Inside Amy Schumer. Glamour quickly responded with a somewhat defensive apology to Schumer.

Glamour said in a statement, First off, we love Amy, and our readers do too — which is why we featured her on the cover of Glamour last year.

The cover line on this special edition — which is aimed at women size 12 and up — simply says ‘Women Who Inspire Us,’ since we believe her passionate and vocal message of body positivity IS inspiring, as is the message of the many other women, of all sizes, featured,” the statement said. “The edition did not describe her as plus-size. We are sorry if we offended her in any way.

Even though there may have not been a statement in the issue directly implying that Schumer is plus-sized, readers who purchase a copy of this magazine are likely to either misunderstand and assume she is or be a bit disappointed to have bought a magazine that is suppose to highlight women of a certain size and find a woman who doesn’t fit the mold.

In fact, Leah Degrazia of Elite Daily wrote an article entitled “Sorry, But Amy Schumer Is Definitely Not Plus-Size.” and touched on this very point.

“Now, Glamour doesn’t directly attribute the word plus-size to Amy Schumer on the cover (and it’s yet to be seen how the mag describes her inside), but placing her name on an all-plus-size issue does associate her with the term, and many people will pick up the copy of the magazine with the expectation of opening it up to spreads of only plus-size women,” Degrazia wrote.

Schumer has tweeted her thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts with her about her name appearing in the Plus-Size Issue. Her final tweet on the subject, as of an hour ago, consists of a video of her flying a kite on a beach and reads;

Bottom line seems to be we are done with these unnecessary labels which seem to be reserved for women.

Personally, depending on the clothing brand, I fluctuate from a size 4 to an 8 and if I were in Schumer’s position my feelings would be hurt by Glamour’s publication. Society’s obsession with size as only a number and not basing how someone looks off of inner health is an ongoing issue, but I can relate to Schumer when it comes to weight struggles and knowing how it feels to be a bit bigger than other girls. Whether the magazine explicitly called her plus-sized or not, just remember that even public figures like comedians and actresses have feelings and insecurities too.
