I feel like there is a lot of context to this that each of us can easily miss that can make discussing this hard.
From my experience, I don't get weighed by unrelated medical practitioners but when it is relevant for tracking my health. Unless there are cases outside of my life experience where people are being weighed, that context adds an implication to the card's existence and text that most of these existing weigh-ins are not medically necessary and that you need to justify each time you do do a weigh in.
With that said, as I read the article more, I can understand receiving accommodations specifically dealing with body image and eating disorders (as well as improvements with how doctor's deal with weight). How to make those accommodations while also tracking vitals important for your health is tricky. Needing to deal with unhealthy habits and unhealthy weight is a real thing. Its also a real thing when doctor's dismiss patients as lying when they are living healthy when it turns out there are other underlying conditions (like PCOS). None of this is in my life experience but I've been slowly hearing from more friends who have had to deal with this, like a very active folk dancer who eventually found out she had PCOS no thanks to her doctors that accused her of lying about her habits.
