Ugh, I'm so sick of BMI being used as a measure of one's health. There are plenty of people that would be considered "overweight" on the BMI scale who eat healthy and exercise and probably even more people who are in the "healthy" BMI range who eat junk all the time and hardly ever exercise. This policy would be extremely discriminatory. And calling heavy people "fatties" is also incredibly insulting.
This illustration is extremely offensive to transgender people, I'm not surprised at all that it was rejected. Aside from common sense that this image is extremely insulting, the New Yorker would have had a huge negative backlash if they chose to run it.
These actually make me think of people who try to define internet lingo nowadays and are totally off the mark. I have a feeling that a lot of these were hardly used at all and would seem ridiculous to actual flappers of the time.

Weird.
Thanks!
