Okay, I'll add one thing, because I finally figured out how to word it, 
annsan.

By trying to "protect" her you are coming from the place that she NEEDS 
protection. I.E. That there is something "wrong" with her, something defective, 
something less than, something disabled, or maybe something even obscene, in a 
sense.

Get it? Lots of people don't like other people protecting them, because of 
the downside implication of that protection.

I've encountered disabled people (wheel chair types) who don't like people 
falling all over them to help them just for that reason. Some do, of course, 
because opening a door or something may be difficult for them. But others do not.

No one likes to be pitied. 

It was an honest portrayal.

I am now seriously tempted to go out and do street photography, and 
especially do unflattering, honest portrayals of fat people, ugly people, disabled 
people, homeless people, etc., just to confront our own inherent prejudices. 

Of which we all have some.

Later, Marnie aka Doe   No more. I got other things to do than PDMLing. This 
honestly has been taking too much of my time. Don't be surprised if there are 
no posts from me for a while. Someone can take what I have said wrong, that's 
okay.
