“illegal for employers to foster fatphobia in the workplace that affects employees and contractors, just like discrimination based on race, gender, and sexual orientation constitutes a violation of the law.”

Do they actually have a case here? Race, gender, and sexual orientation are not things a person can control.

Weight is often something that people can't control. There are many reasons why someone can be overweight or obese.

Not often. Extremely rarely that's the case.
