You chose a pretty poor example.

Have you ever heard of methadone? Its literally accepting that someone will be addicted to opiates for a long time or life and then giving them a healthier alternative that doesnt try to change that.

Yeah, see, no one is bothered by that because no one is saying:

Be proud of your true heroin addicted self. Show it to the world. IF they don't accept your heroin addiction THEY ARE wrong.

See. If any movement said that, I'd be against it. Because they are trying to remove stigma from something that SHOULD HAVE IT.

Unsure if you're trying for a parody here, but HOH isn't actually that absurd. Numerous public health policies - methadone clinics, needle-exchange programs, Narcan syringes on every EMT - are based on the assumption that addicts are gonna be addicts, and until they are in a place in their life where they can do the work needed to kick the addiction, they might as well not be spreading HIV, committing petty crimes to support their habit, living on the street, or dying. All of these interventions make it more likely that they will eventually get to a place in their life where they will be able to do the work to actually kick the habit.

You are stretching VERY far.

There is a segment of the population that is addicted to a substance that is illegal. They die because they hide to satiate their addiction.

If fast food were illegal, and fat people sat under bridges eating fast food and occupationally chocked on an illegal KFC chicken bone, I'd advocate for fatty eating centers.

Comparing saving lives to removing stigma is... beyond absurd.

I don't know what you think you are proving here. I accept everything you just wrote and agree with it 100 percent (except for detox. I think I would say for heroin we now have buprenorphine which might be useful way to manage this specific addiction, but I'm not claiming to be an expert on heroin addiction).

Expect fat people can eat KFC in the open.

Fat people aren't being sent to jail for being fat.

Heroin addicts are being judged and looked down on. No one is fighting that.

No one is saying 'be proud ye heroin addicts'.

I have hear fat people basically say 'be proud of ye 'curves'"

Let's reconsider this position using some other example:

Such a shame that the "healthy at any genetic condition" BS is so popular these days. Literally killing people.

Genetic conditions cannot (currently) be changed, so not trying to change them is a reasonable approach.

Addiction to opioids is also partly genetic. Should being a heroin addict be fine?

The healthy while fat movement specifically tries to remove a stigma that IMO should not be removed.
