A crop of conservative personalities such as Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, and outlets like Evie, are convincing young women of a gender-essentialist worldview

  • A person isn’t made any healthier by magically becoming thin.

    Not really true. Your joints will thank you for the lower weight they have to support. However, I do agree that that is not the good way. You should work out and eat less junk food/sweets/fatty stuff. Doing that will make you healthier, and getting thin is a natural byproduct of that.

      Less weight on the joints sure, but reactive hypoglycemia and iron deficiency also. Less weight on the joint can help you pursue health by making activity less destructive to joints, but if you don’t become more active, being thin does nothing by itself. Sounds like we are largely in agreement but I don’t think being thin is a goal at all. Obesity is a bar set too low. I think my wife might be back to obese at 150lbs, and she is still thin af to me. Sex sucked when she was skin and bones.
