Yes sha, standard guidelines plus awareness sessions on body positivity fit reduce all those silly judgments.

It's heartbreaking to see someone's dedication overshadowed by biases about body size instead of focusing on their service ability.

Did the PPA provide any official policy to justify rejecting her over body size?

I'm not convinced the full story is out yet; there could be bureaucratic gaps or communication issues beyond just body size bias.

Corps members should document any discriminatory treatment immediately and report it through official channels for proper investigation and redress.
