Discrimination.
It comes in all forms but its effects is always the same.
We all can't help who we are, including Georgia Holton from Victoria, who was told her short sleeve dress was intimidating others.
This lady has been working in aged care as a co-ordinator for 14 years, giving her all for those who need it.
But being a personal trainer and having a passion for fitness, which has seen her recently win the Miss Victoria WFF figure title, toned arms are one of the positive attributes that come with the territory.
But her bosses don't want a bar of it.
After a recent meeting where she removed her cardigan because it was hot, she was pulled aside after the meeting by a female manager.
The comment was 'others' felt intimidated by her arms looking toned.
But Georgia is just 55kgs, and isn't anyone to be intimidated by.
She claims there might be some jelously, as the lady who pulled her aside is extremely overweight. She insists it came from her alone.
"I'm proud of how I look and don't care what others think" she tells FIT'N'FLEXED.
"I work hard for it."
Speaking out on Facebook, she tells the story of how it all unfolded.
"Today I was spoken to 'quietly' by my female manager who said my short sleeve dress was intimidating others."
"I replied... 'Please put that in an email and I will have a chat to HR about it and see what they think. Ta'" she wrote.
A woman who takes her health/fitness and training seriously, why on earth would anyone have an issue with this?
Her friends were outraged: "really? what an ass" wrote one, as another declared: "bahaha their prob, not yours!"
Others went on to say that they have copped crap from collegues because they run triathlons.
Is discrimination against fit people on the way up?
Have you experienced this before?
As sure as this women will continue to train hard and keep looking better, she'll never get that email.
