No. Unless we are expanding on the definition of ableism, which I thought, had to do with disability discrimination? It's more a sizeism than ableism issue.

did you see my larger point above as to why I used that term?
-
I don't see specifically where you explain why you used ableism, no.
-
Ah, yeah. I see that as being the reason to describe it as an -ism — but I'm not sure I see why that means it is "ableism." Almost all of the other "-isms" we use have to do with taking aim at similar hierarchies.

But, this is a side issue of your broader point, of course, so I'll leave it be. I think this is key and correct — https://twitter.com/mathewrodriguez/status/961035567235395584 … — and I just think the framing as it as ableism could take away from the underlying purpose of the discussion and why it matters.

Thank you for that feedback, I've heard from a few different peopel about this and want to go back to the drawing board with it! Though I think that it's a multi-faceted problem taht includes sizeism and racism and that ableism is a small part of it though not the whole thing
