well, yes- fat is very much not a disability. I don't see it interfering with my daily life, or the gym, or work or whatever. But it does create the random issue with access.

And 90% of the time, that access issue applies to other people as well.

It is annoying that the stripper pole for Flirty Girl Fitness only holds 180lbs. But that isn't an access issue, that's just- well, actually Flirty Girl Fitness is an entire problem all it's own, but not for reasons of access.

That the bathrooms in public places are too small for me? Than they are going to be impossible for anyone who is using a wheel chair or some other form of mobility assistance.

I think this is an argument for me to continue to take my digital camera everywhere I go...
