As someone who was 100 pounds overweight for a long time, and now isn't, that mindset is really dangerous and preventing a lot of people from living life to its fullest.

There is never any reason to be cruel or unkind to people who are overweight, but pretending that it doesn't have negative consequences or is even "healthy for me" or whatever is really harmful.

I think there is a large chance that this crowd referenced arguing for "this" is even smaller than than the population of (25? 50?) trans ncaaa athletes that all the rubes believed was ruining america. Loudmouths on the internet exist and suck but don't represent everyone.
