Re: I'm starting to wonder if internet space is even for me anymore

The thing is, "health" is often used to concern-troll people about their weight by others who don't actually give a shit about the person's actual health, or the damage they're doing to the person's mental health by harassing them about their weight. It also touches on the horrible treatment that some fat people have suffered at the hands of doctors (not just telling them to lose weight, but actually verbally abusing them, misdiagnosing completely unrelated conditions as being caused by their weight, and a wealth of other unprofessional behavior).

And generally speaking, the way in which a person does or doesn't choose to look after their own health isn't any of the business of some random stranger. Why isn't it, "As long as you're happy?"

But is a person who is fat or unhealthy disabled?

Randomly, I'm a massage therapist. I graduated with a girl, and she was telling me how she had this really large client. She did all our screening tests, APRs (which are active motion tests that are used to figure out which muscle specifically needs work on). She then told him, as professionally as she could, that he was having problems because he was carrying so much extra weight. He got really upset, which, clearly, is crazy because she did all these extra tests!

Except for the fact that I went to the same school as her and know for a fact that we don't have a single test that can say that someone's having issues because they're overweight. Is it a possibility? For sure! But it's also a possiblity that people are having problems because they're underweight. Because they're in the average weight range, but don't have developed muscles (aka: "Skinny fat"). Because they sit funny at work. Because they carry their purse the wrong way. Because they sleep funny. Because they stand all day. Because they sit all day. Literally because of anything at all, and sometimes it can take months for a massage therapist to finally figure out what's causing the pain (one of our teachers told us that she had a client who repeatedly had the same problem and that they could never figure it out ever. Until they figured out she sat on the couch when watching TV in a way that was causing her problems).

I didn't say anything, but all I could think is "Holy shit, you're really ignorant if you think you can work on someone, figure out what muscles are tight, and then decide that the muscles are tight because the person is overweight instead of looking at anything else they do in their daily life.
