    I disagree, they shouldn't have been done at all. Those sorts of tests and processes don't feel a ton better done solo. They're still incredibly body shaming and if they're about the "look" not...

    When it came to tests of weight and fat percentage, however, I mostly felt disgust, anger and humiliation. It wasn’t the tests that were the problem, but the way they were conducted.

    I disagree, they shouldn't have been done at all. Those sorts of tests and processes don't feel a ton better done solo. They're still incredibly body shaming and if they're about the "look" not the actual ability to do the job, they're just bullshit. It's still fat shaming if you do the shaming in private.
