Yet another grievance group joins the throng of protected classes.
“Celebrate” is turning into a bad word. As in “celebrate LGBTQ,” “celebrate Diversity,” “celebrate Internet censorship,” etc. If it’s bad, we’re supposed to celebrate it. Don’t want to be accused of Hate Speech.
Whatever they say we should do, we shouldn’t do. No, being monstrously fat is nothing to be celebrated. Ditto male athletes calling themselves women so they can compete against real woman and win prizes.
It would be greatly to our credit if we stopped embracing every wacky and perverted notion that came oozing down the pike.
From the story: “At a city council hearing…several New Yorkers testified about the deleterious effects weight discrimination had upon them … one NYU student said classroom desks were too small for her” How is that discrimination that she is to fat to sit at a desk? Is NYC now going to have fat people 300 to 900 pounds becoming police officers? For if they they don’t allow that, it would be discrimination?
Denial of reality is a feature of a senile civilization.
