Amy Schumer miffed at Glamour for including her in its "plus size" issue

Amy Schumer has taken issue with Glamour magazine's shoutout to her in the latest issue, which features her in a list of "women who inspire us" that also includes Melissa McCarthy, Adele and plus-size model Ashley Graham.

"I think there's nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women," Schumer wrote in an Instagram post highlighting the mention.

"Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8. [Glamour magazine] put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn't feel right to me," she wrote. "Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size? What are your thoughts? Mine are not cool glamour not glamourous."

A spokesperson for the magazine, though, insists that Schumer has it all wrong:

"First off, we love Amy, and our readers do, too -- which is why we featured her on the cover of Glamour last year," the spokesperson told People magazine. "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."
