Re: + 10000
Also, I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen anyone treated as badly as my overweight mother, not even non-white, non-straight, non-cis people. Once, she was even weight at a job interview, and subsequently denied the job. It seems that in this day and age, weight is one of the last things people can openly judge others on.
I agree, however, that saying you want to lose weight is not a judgment on anyone else and shouldn't be labeled an "offensive" statement. >.
Re: + 10000
They weighed your mom at a job interview? I'm... pretty sure that's illegal, actually, unless the interview was for the kind of work where there might be a weight limit (I've heard that if you work in a warehouse you sometimes have to be weighed because the scaffolding and equipment can only hold a certain weight level).
I will admit that I haven't seen so much of this sort of thing in real life. I have seen it on the Internet, but I am also of an average weight so it's possible I could not be attuned to it in the real world.
Re: + 10000
I'm going to say that while it's entirely possible that you just live somewhere where people are nice, you probably don't notice some of the stuff because it's not aimed at you. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I've been spit at more than once, called names on a weekly basis, and on two or three occasions I've had services denied me because the shop owner or whoever was currently in charge didn't want a fat person "advertising" their products or eating their food. People are also more willing to get physically violent with me than they are with more "attractive" women. And I'm seriously NOT THAT FAT. Definitely not in obese range, so I hesitate to think of how bad it must be for those who are more overweight than me.
Re: + 10000
But yeah, fair enough. I could just not be noticing it.
I do hope your mom was able to get a better job in the end.
