You don’t need to be non-white to achieve the privileged status of the oppressed. You don’t even have to pretend to be a member of the opposite sex or proclaim a proclivity to indulge in sexual perversion. All you need to do is eat too much.

At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport…

…Jaelynn Chaney, a plus-size travel influencer from Vancouver, Canada, recently organized a protest claiming she was denied wheelchair assistance due to her body size, raising serious questions about treatment of larger passengers.

We have met this Rosa Parks of the plus-sized set before (see here, here, and here) in the course of her campaign to impose what she calls “body equality in travel,” which entails free seats for the morbidly obese.

The 28-year-old content creator, who wears size 6XL, staged a demonstration inside Seattle-Tacoma International Airport holding a sign reading “Sea-Tac violates our rights” with the hashtag “wheelchair access for all.” This public display followed what Chaney describes as a traumatic experience during her May 2024 visit to the airport.

Jae’lynn’s traumatic experience consists of a delay in being provided with a wheelchair — which she reportedly does not require.

The campaign has support:

The treatment of passengers with disabilities has become increasingly scrutinized across the aviation industry, with incidents of extreme passenger distress highlighting the broader challenges faced by those requiring special accommodations while traveling. …

The incident raises important questions about the legal obligations airports have toward passengers requiring assistance. Under various disability protection laws, transportation facilities must provide reasonable accommodations to travelers with mobility challenges.

The cost of special accommodations is no object, because the rest of us will pick up the tab.

The controversy serves as a reminder that as the travel industry evolves, ensuring dignity and accessibility for passengers of all sizes and abilities must remain a fundamental priority rather than an optional consideration.

Who could have guessed that Jae’lynn is defending dignity as she feigns oppression and bellows demands? Who can guess which identity group will be the next to become belligerently empowered by cultural Marxism?
