Wheezing, fat Canadian feminists want to make the obese a protected class LOL

Advocates say Manitoba should expand human rights protection to overweight people because they are being passed over for everything from job promotions to surgery.
"People are being made to feel ashamed or bullied," Gerrard said. "There are also issues where people are not getting the help or the treatment that they should be getting."
Lindsey Mazur, a dietitian, said some overweight people she works with are being denied surgeries and other care unless they lose weight first. In the workforce, some people are losing out on promotions because of their weight, she added.
"A friend of mine who worked at a fitness facility here in Winnipeg was told no one would want to look like her; therefore, no one would want to train with her, and a project was given to a younger, slimmer colleague of hers.
