You're comparing apples and oranges.

People can't choose to have an eating disorder (Skinny Princess).
People can't choose to be a certain race (Black Princess).
People can't choose their sexual orientation (Dyke Princess).
People can't choose their level of physical/mental impairment (Handicapped Princess).

You're talking about factors that are uncontrollable by an individual, whereas being fat is a personal choice.

We have become too politically correct. Where does it end?
