Pretty much this

We should have compassion for people with disabilities but compassion doesn't mean bending reality.

For an extreme example blindness is obviously a disability IMO but the nature of the disability precludes the blind person from doing most jobs.

That's not discrimination because some person is being unfair. That's because their reality is unfair compared to people who can see. You just don't get to be an airplane pilot when you are blind or an athlete if you have muscular dystrophy

To add to that those things are immutable. In the case of being blind you can be treated but your vision will never be good enough to fly a plane.

You can stop being fat. The problem is the loudmouth lazy no-effort people who think the world owes them a living. Like this dumbass who pursued a career in healthcare and is dumbfounded that they have to take breaks all the time.
