Dear God. Being fat is not a protected class. It's a choice to eat too much and not exercise..

I'm working on dropping all the weight I gained during Covid and that's on me. It's not anyone else's fault that I ate (and drank) too much and stopped going to the gym.

This is a mistake.

so if a person doesn't get the "access to employment, housing and public accommodation" they wish for, how can they tell if it's 'discrimination', or just the luck of the draw? seems like a can of the proverbials. but litigation lawyers will doubtless be happy.

Most of the time being fat is a poor lifestyle choice. People need to get over themselves an assume.

As the great intellectual Quagmire once stated: "fat chicks need love too...just they gotta pay" .

When are they going to ban the crime??..

So....Police officers and Firefighters can also be fat? Will it still be discrimination when they fail their physicals?

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

and they spend time on this not the actual crimes on the subway and in the streets.

definition of a liberal city. come here and be fat all you want, its a safe space.

then you get robbed and pushed into a moving track or onto the tracks just over your wallet or purse or phone or your nationality.
