I've tried asking in all earnestness before but was met with complete and total venom:
Why would one believe that a person's fatness is an immutable characteristic that cannot and must not be changed, but their sex is completely negotiable and is changeable at a whim?
They either lack the ability to discriminate or refuse to discriminate. They also cannot stand to see themselves in an unflattering light. Admitting fault and assuming responsibility is a problem for them.
Obesity is sometimes due to gluttony and/or sloth and they don't want to admit it. If they erase culpability, they can have their cake and eat it too. They can be fat and unhappy and never get out of dreamland long enough to attack the roots of their unhappiness: they can wallow in addictions of various sorts. Being able to change their sex gives them what they think is power. They might not be able to change their inherent gluttony and laziness, but thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, they can change genders. Progress in the form of Immaculate Surgery and Drugs conquers all. It's their way of triumphing over a God they claim not to believe in. They want to be the determiners of their own fates, but they don't want to make any ego-deflating analyses to assess where they are lacking in character.
