Should abuses against fat people be made a hate crime?

Overweight people always grieve against the abuses they face in their daily life. In a horrific case in UK, Marsha Coupe, was beaten up black and blue by another woman in her carriage — just for being overweight. Although London prides itself on being diverse yet there is almost a zero-tolerance on anyone of size and one can’t walk the streets without being verbally or physically assaulted. Therefore, Marsha Coupe is campaigning to see discrimination against fat people outlawed. Should abuses against anyone of size be considered as hate crime?

A lot of people have made fun of me because I'm "too skinny". Thus, I know what it feels like to be scrutinized, and I always try to be respectful to people of all shapes and sizes. Some of the kindest people that I've come across are highly overweight.

No, it's not like saying "no black people" at all. I'm not even going to bother explaining why, it should be obvious to anyone of even near-average intelligence.

doctors are even asked to ‘respect the wishes’ of fat patients who do not want to discuss their weight.
