Belly of the Beast by Da'Shaun L. Harrison, Fearing the Black Body the Racial Origins of Fatphobia by Sabrina Strings.

a podcast on the intersection of fatphobia and eugenics I recommend is Maintenance Phase. on BMI, on the obesity "epidemic"

ah yes, promoting calorie counting and weighing food, the famously not disordered gymbro eating patterns. the article actually says that calorie counting can cause more harm than good

reading past the mansplainer explaining the headline to me, what it actually says is that calorie counting can be more harmful than good (which is a very mild take and an under-estimation)

I think the initial assumption that a "healthy" universal weight even exists is rooted in eugenics. oh, and also the attempts by the medical industrial complex to standardize it and enforce it through violence against fat people

there's no obesity epidemic. it's all eugenics to the core

it's embarrassing that people still use eugenics calculators in scientific discussions

this is actually misinformation that's already been debunked. I recommend reading my other comment thread

too bad human beings aren't engines huh?

the fake claim that most people even need to lose weight actually derives from the eugenics movement. for more information I recommend the book Belly of the Beast by Da'Shaun L. Harrison.

if you're burning more calories than you eat that's called starving yourself and it leads to eating disorders and long-term organ damage. stop spreading harmful misinformation

I'd probably just stick to Meshtastic if it ever gets out of the beta stage

I recommend reading about the relationship escalator . although it's a tool primarily aimed at poly people, even monogamous people can benefit from learning about how you're allowed to not consent to societal norms.

TLDR: only you can decide if you wanna move in with her, if at all. letting other people tell you how to organize your relationship will only end in misery

Hispanic is an ethnicity while white is a race. you can be of any race and Hispanic and of any ethnicity and white but that doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Hispanic means Spanish-speaking people from Latin America which is different from Spanish which is a person from Spain. despite what the conquistadors would like people to think, not everyone in Latin America has Spaniard lineage. there are indigenous people that never got fully assimilated and don't speak Spanish

colorism only goes one way and that's against dark-skinned people. these terms are meant to analyze systems of power, there's no oppression against light-skinned people

if you don't starve yourself and eat whenever you're hungry you actually gain less weight than being on a diet

didn't know JK Rowling is into Lemmy now

great, now enjoy that 10 times worse when genAI is used to make skeleton crews an even bigger issue and increase worker exploitation

it's called having a conscience, you might wanna try it

except genAI has proven no purpose. this is like saying "look at how many jobs bankers replaced! we just used to eat for free, now we have to work our entire lives for it or starve!"

I actually agree with bigots that we are dangerous as trans people (to cisheteronormative society). the caveat is that we shouldn't give a fuck what they think since conforming to a violent society doesn't benefit trans people. it's why marginalizing pedophiles doesn't make child rape go away, because they're just a scapegoat for all the normal people and parents without any sexual attraction to their victims abusing children because of the power hierarchy

idk, there's some truth to what you're saying but I don't think all those TERF women wanna abuse women's spaces. it's just socially beneficial for them to hate us because society encourages anti-queer violence. and that's the part that puts women's spaces in danger, being a minority. same for any marginalized identity

hard pill to swallow, but anyone allowing pedophiles to be treated as an underclass is part of falling for anti-queer propaganda and equating being weird with being dangerous to society. if someone has a weird paraphilia that isn't forced on someone else who can't consent then it's nobody's business. the only way to eliminate uncomfortable attractions is thought police or installing a chip in everyone's brains.

it's why queer spaces turn fashy as soon as the furries, the neopronouns and the trans man lesbians aren't welcome anymore
