It isn't. (it is all mental)
She has got to do what she is comfortable with but if you're helping her with this and don't at least get her to sit on a Slim or Deluxe you're doing her a disservice.
The weight is lower in a Softail and it is easier to stand up than a Sportster.
Anyway, I'm out ... best of luck to her, I hope she finds something she can enjoy, be it a Blast, Softail, Rebel or something completely different ...
OH Edit: You might try a new Scout if you can find one...
