No more than being tall or short. The Ada doesn't force car manufacturers to make cars that tall people can fit in, or Force grocery stores to put everything on shelves that midgets can reach. having an abnormal height is part of life, and no one should be expected to accommodate.

Unlike height, being obese is something that is under your own control. if the world doesn't have to bend to tall people and short people, why should it bend to your fat ass?

Prety much, I give MORE leeway to short people because if they can't reach something, I'll help them if I'm nearby abd for very tall people I won't stare at them as I know a few that develop social anxiety due to their height. They can't help it unlike obese people.

Saying that the only time I WOULDN'T judge an obese person is when I see them in the gym as that's a conscious attempt to improve themselves, unlike this 'woe is me' crap here.

Obesity is directly tied with what you stuff into your pie hole, and is, therefore, inherently mutable, so no, fuck the land whales.

Note how it is only the 400lb women who are pushing for this, no one gives a shit about the 400 pound plus men here.

They should have the exact same level of additional protection, yes. None.

Your BMI should determine the sentencing for crimes against you where if the maximum sentence is less than the victim's BMI then they serve no time.

Obesity is not an immutable characteristic
