all medical terms get turned into hateful insults--moron, idiot, imbecile, r*tarded which is approaching but will never achieve n-word status-- all used to be actual medical diagnoses. "obese" will go the same route and be replaced by something else, which will also eventually become derogatory and be replaced
funny how "shit", "piss", "fuck", "cunt", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", and "tits" are almost everyday words now
So much so that there's a song about it!
STEP ONE, INSTEAD OF ASS, SAY BUNS
LIKE 'KISS MY BUNS' OR 'YOU'RE A BUNS-HOLE'
Buns-hole gets me every time
Singing Family Reunion at their concert is a memory I will never let go
And now apparently autism. Why us? Autism doesn't cause you to be useless or stupid, most of us aren't recognised in public and a high percentage isn't even diagnosed, there is no reason to shit on us.
The reason is bigotry. If you really want to get into it, a big reason for the stigma against autism is the damage done by Autism Speaks.
what did autism speaks do, or still doing?
They're behind just about every negative stigma surrounding autism. Mainly that it's a debilitating disease that ruins the lives of everyone around them and needs to be cured, as well as that autism is caused by vaccines.

I wonder if those prior medical terms had precise definitions. Obese is BMI >= 30 and morbidly obese is >= 40. BMI itself has some issues but works ok as a general assessment for most people.
