200 pounds ago, I was denied a job at a church daycare because the director said because of my "condition" she did not "think I could interact or get down on the floor with the kids". I had no problem getting up & down off of the floor. She wouldn't give me the job although I had worked in the private school that she and her husband closed, & was the Children's Durector at the church. Sometime I still feel a bit salty! 😏 Have you every been rejected due to health or weight? What did you do?

Yes, for real! She was awful as a person and and later i found out she was terribly unkind to employees.

I agree with both of the previous replies. You dodged a bullet, and you should sue.

I’m always so surprised when people wear their ableism so clearly and proudly on their sleeves.

If it hadn't been a church daycare, I probably would have sued.

This is one of those situations that doesn't get talked about enough! I have also had problems with people judging me based on learning disabilities!
