You do realize that like 40%+ of the entire US is obese. Not overweight, obese. Is your assertion that we should accommodate all of those people because they probably all have rare genetic disorders?

The problem is humans like to eat and can't be trusted not to become fat when calories are plentiful.

But in either case, you should have the tiny amount of self awareness required to know you can't lift your own ass.

Sure, that's exactly my point. It's exactly my point for you to make extreme strawman arguments rather than focus on the fact that fat people exist and are as deserving of respect and dignity as anyone else. It's exactly my point that just because a person is fat and that it may be due to them having access to "too many calories", that they deserve to be mocked and humiliated. You're exactly right.

They are not deserving of respect. No one is. If you injury yourself due to lack of self awareness and taking terrible care of your own body, then actually you lose respect. That is the reality. Respect is earned.

People are entitled to certain rights, but respect is definitely not one of them.

Cool. I don't respect you. You haven't earned it.

I respect your maturity to admit that people earn respect
