The term “plus-size” is controversial within the fashion community. Ashley Graham, the model who covers the special issue—and has also earned attention for her recent [_Sports Illustrated_](http://time.com/4224375/ashley-graham-sports-illustrated-swimsuit/) and _Maxim_ covers—told [TIME in September](http://time.com/4029937/plus-size-new-york-fashion-week/) that she rolls her eyes when someone labels her a “plus-size” model. Actress Melissa McCarthy, whose name appears on the cover alongside Schumer’s, has also denounced the term: “Women come in all sizes. Seventy percent of women in the United States are a size 14 or above, and that’s technically ‘plus-size,’ so you’re taking your biggest category of people and telling them, ‘You’re not really worthy.” Schumer’s Tweet and Instagram post garnered swift reaction: “I’m against the idea of a “plus size only” issue. Every issue should include a diverse range of sizes and color,” one Instagram follower wrote. “I think these people are idiots!” another wrote. Schumer also retweeted various opinions on the topic. > [](https://twitter.com/JulietteGash/status/717373081656946688) > [](https://twitter.com/KathW80/status/717372810482622464) > [](https://twitter.com/amyschumer/status/717374159265927168) “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 edition did not describe her as plus-size. We are sorry if we offended her in any way,” a _Glamour_ spokesperson told TIME. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4282192/amy-schumer-glamour-plus-size/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4282192/amy-schumer-glamour-plus-size/"},"headline":"Amy Schumer Calls Out Glamour for Featuring Her in 'Plus-Size' Issue","datePublished":"2016-04-05T16:51:59.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T14:59:12.000Z","description":"\"Plus size is considered a size 16 in America.
