answer:

♡ sizeism is discrimination or prejudice directed against people because of their size and especially because of their weight; this is one way to dismantle the power difference society's privileges grant us through such institutions as racism or classism or ageism or sizeism.

♡ an example of sizeist discrimination might include a person being fired from a job for being overweight or exceptionally short though their work was unaffected. sizeism often takes the form of a number of stereotypes about people of particular heights and weights.
