yes and no. I have one too, and yeah, people just turning to it as an excuse is frustrating as fuck, but by the same token, losing weight is harder when you have a disorder, even with treatment. just needs to be said.

but I'm with the above anons discussing medical conditions in the sense that, thyroid disorders are not "sexy" like diabetes, so nobody wants to fucking research thyroid disorders and come up with better treatments. I think a lot of medical conditions have the same problem - doctors are trained to fat-shame and so they'd rather tell fatty to go lose some weight than try to figure out what combo of medications, genetic flaws, potential diseases, and lifestyle are actually causing that person to gain or fail to lose.
