Kat Dennings is a really beautiful woman. She should really be more high profile than she is now.

Basically this. There are some phenomenally awful subreddits, from MRAs, to the hilariously pathetic Men Going Their Own Way, to "scientific" racists to straight-up white nationalists.

Isn't this subreddit also home to a not-insignificant number of MRAs and mansplainers? I could be wrong...

What's the point of reddit anyway? From what I've heard, it's just breeding ground for neckbeards and MRAs.

The series is described as an earnest look at a group of millennial women — who happen to be transgender — living, loving and building their careers. The series will explore how their sexuality impacts their lives.

It certainly changes life a whole hell of a lot. I can't exactly call it "better" or "worse". It's just "different".

Interesting that you say you were ill enough to lose "too much weight" and yet that makes you "very lucky".

I'm in the same boat. And has never admitted it to anyone for fear of being judged for it as well.

I think this woman is awesome. But the sick used-to-be-anorexic part of me is TERRIFIED by images of postpartum women's bodies. I'm finally in a place where I don't say terrible things to myself all day long about my body. Part of it is because I haven't gotten on a scale since 2012. Part of it is because, while I am…

Do you not understand that pregnancy changes your body? Or that maybe, as a new mother, she doesn't have the hours to devote to maintaining competition form? She still works out and is pretty fit, but between the natural changes her body underwent during pregnancy and a different (but still healthy) lifestyle, her…

Because achieving that body is not realistic for many women who have had children, due to stretched out skin making muscles less visible, and the lifestyle that's necessary to reacquire that body (usually multiple hours at the gym, most days a week) is often not sustainable for women who have children unless they have…

Hate to break it to you, but pregnancy can do a number on the muscle ton in one's abdomen. My twins are four, I have lost the baby weight and then some, and weigh less, am a smaller size, and in better shape than ever before in my life. I am by no means overweight. But when I sit down, my midsection looks like hers.…

I actually find all the sanctimonious people telling me i must love my body more annoying than the ones telling me I'm defective.

While I totally understand why you're tired of hearing/seeing that dynamic, isn't it better for the medical community to recognize physiological differences so that a useful framework for getting a person healthy (whether it be weight loss, dosages of medicine, whatever) can be established?

Except not. Or at least, so casually and carelessly as to be useless. There are genetic differences between populations and subgroups. These are real. But there aren't any traits that are exclusive to any racial group or even subgroup. Race, in the medical/biological sense, is a useful shorthand for categorizing…

I always found this social construction idiocy ridiculous as if whatever that made my skin darker, my legs longer and my nose flatter also decided it wasn't allowed to implement any other adaptions that would not agree with the sensibilities of the humans it expects to occupy the earth in 2000s ... what exactly will…

oh, guess race isn't just a social construct after all. who'd have thought.

What's fat to you, though? Bigger than Kate Moss?

Long term stressors, such as poverty, etc, increase inflammation which affect things like cardiac health and hormone levels. Both of which affect metabolic processes. Stress is medically relevant, even if there isn't something convenient, similar to a glucometer, to test for it.
