Acknowledgment of the legally defined discriminatory categories has left open season on the rest of the categories. It is just as hurtful to be
discriminated against because you are large as it is because of your race. A few years ago I saw two large women having trouble starting their car.
It was an old car and the women were totally covered with large wort type lumps. I was in a hurry and continued to walk past them without offering
help and to this day I do everything I can to try and rectify my actions of that day. I profess understanding and humility and I hope to find a way
to shift personal opinions. I have always been a supporter of workers rights and fairness in general. I was an elected officer of a Local of the UMWA
and very active in union work. Now I try and open my mind even further to any type of discrimination. A big project of mine is to get people to teach
children to keep their hands off other people. Calling attention to bullying.
