She's gorgeous, but only has one hand. She's a great rusher, but she only has one hand. Some PNMS will NOT be able to get past that.
No way in hell would I shove her in the closet or in the kitchen or whatever just because some PNMs would make stupid judgements because of it.
-And yes being heavy is comparable. Sometimes that's just what size you are-

I wouldn't tell anyone who wanted to that they couldn't rush, but I do think weight is a little different in the sense that it gets to be a group identity as the fat group, or so people fear. It seems really unlikely that there'd be a similar fear in your sister's case.
