And I definitely know that there are times in my life when I got way less "sensitive" about it because I was in a place where -- as "un-PC" as it may have been in other ways -- being fat was normal and people didn't care that much

And, like, it's kind of one of those obnoxious failures of empathy to be like "Oh, hey, I've grown up and learned to accept it" like it's all down to your personal strength and not that you're happier now because you aren't actively having people shit on you as much anymore

And to act like the people who do care more than you are just "more sensitive" like it's a feature of their personality and not like they're actively being harmed more than you all the time

Yes. And a medical diagnosis is still accurate. Morbidly obese is a real and dangerous thing. Pointing out an obvious disorder in the man in charge of the country is a good thing, just like pointing out his obvious dementia.

"Pointing out an obvious disorder" is called ableism.
