i was thinking today about the term "size acceptance" and what it really means. it somewhat bothers me that people are asking to be "accepted". i think the most important thing would be to accept yourself personally and then sue the pants off anyone who violates your rights. "size acceptance" just sounds whimpy to me.
i also wonder if it is good to seperate that from plain old rights? because once you seperate yourself you become the other and it seems easier for other people with the same concerns not to relate. for instance, i wonder if issues with the airlines would be better solved by creating a passengers bill of rights and having all people with a beef sign on. that would include everyone from passengers required to buy a second seat to the lady who was forced off the plane for wearing a mini, or someone denied the right to breastfeed. do you think something like that would be more effective or am i all wet?
PS: excuse me if you notice typos--i can't spell and for some reason my spellcheck wouldn't kick in.
