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.

the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance ???????? oh dear! or am I being fatist?

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" .

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

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.
