Anyone who thinks that people don't discrimate against fat people is kidding themselves, in MHO. Over the years of being very heavy, I have learned to tell right away when I meet someone who is a "fattist". They can't look me in the eye. They look uncomfortable to be talking to me and while they might be quite civil, they are colder than they are when dealing with others. Now, I know other personality traits could cause those same "symptoms", but I have been around long enough to trust my gut on this. And you know what, I couldn't care less. In fact, I quite enjoy their discomfort. Because it is their problem, not mine. I am comfortable in my own body and I am a nice, decent person. That's all I can do. Now, if someone is outright rude to me, then that is a different matter and I would speak up about it. But the squirming doesn't get to me.
