I'd love more discussion around the invisible privilege of beauty and the hardships around being unattractive, but a big roadblock is that both beautiful and unattractive people mostly don't like self-identifying as those things

That's more of a fake euphemism problem then a beautiful people "privilege" problem. As for me, I don't say lies like "Everyone is beautiful...blah blah." If I don't think someone is beautiful, I make no false pretenses that the person is.

When I lost 40 pounds, the way people treated me changed dramatically. Women flirted with me a lot more, men seemed to show me a little more respect. The social advantages of being attractive are substantial.

Women didn’t flirt with you more because you lost weight but because you likely gained more confidence as you lost weight. Attractiveness without confidence doesn’t get you any “social advantages”. At least not long-term.

I am comfortable with the way my appearance makes others uncomfortable...

...What bothers me is when pretty people, especially men, yammer on about the burden of their looks; as if they would be able to cope with averted eyes from women, being invisible, or, when in close proximity, the fear in their eyes & body language. Just by walking in the room.

Same thing with intelligence.

These are both very valid. I find that relating to the lowest common denominator of our temporal existence and the human condition is a way to connect on a deeper level that transcends both cases. YMMV
