Being overweight isn't a protected characteristic

Could you claim it's a type of disability if you're really overweight?

Ah, whatabouttery. It didn't work the first time, @Zinco, and it didn't work again.

My examples actually seem to have "worked" fine, as there is not a single person here defending the principle that I questioned.

But you can always try to defend racial discrimination in business if you want to?

As an sidenote, my mother was a nurse from the sixties onwards. Nurses then weren't allowed to refuse to do things like lifting fat people into bed. As a result her knees are fucked. I mean really fucked.

As I understand it, now a nurse can refuse and the correct equipment or another person who's more physically able to does it.

So in my mum's case refusing to do xyz on a fat person should have been reasonable, not discrimination.

Not the same thing, I know, but a shame nurses weren't allowed to object. It's massively impacted my mum's health. But some would surely have cried discrimination without thinking it through.

You can’t refuse to lift someone over weight. Well lifting is not allowed tbh! You are expected to use a hoist or some sort of similar equipment and you would just round up some extra staff to help turn the patient maybe.

Yes, that is correct as to what happens nowadays.
But in the past they hand to do it themselves, by hand and with no training.

Hence mum's knees are fucked.
