The whole LGBT thing is just a psychiatric disorder.

What I don't understand is "non-binary."

maybe they outsourced it to china because of ethical concerns, and it was accidently released too early and in the wrong place.

Out sourced a serious bio weapon to our #1 competitor/ enemy?

The truth is the cdc and dr. Fauci did fund gain of function research for the wuhan lab.
It’s proven the us basically payed for that labs research lmao.

Yes, there's a televised interview where Fauci confirms that.

maybe they outsourced it to china because of ethical concerns, and it was accidently released too early and in the wrong place.

That's likely what happened.
Probably something stupid at the lab... the virus vial and the coffee creamer vial got swapped.

Ur not even allowed to say it’s impossible for a person born as a man can’t give natural birth to a baby anymore. Shits a joke.

i doubt that’s what likely happened.

100%. That’s what happens when you try to bandaid mental health issues with sex changes and other shit instead of trying to identify and treat the root cause of what is driving someone to have this “gender confusion / identity issues”

I think the issue is people pandering/catering to the (gender) delusion, which is actually dangerous.

Imagine you have delusional person that thinks they can fly, and you support and cater to it, reinforcing their delusional belief. Then one day they try to take flight and fall to their death. Wouldn't that make you atleast partially legally responsible?

So how's it different catering to a gender delusion? Confused dudes that think they're girls and visa versa, and people pander to this, so they hop on a bunch of hormones that were never intended for their sex, and throw themselves into a mental spiral and higher suicide risk.

Point being: Supporting delusions are dangerous.

They outsourced it because its illegal to do that research on US soil. Kind of like it is illegal for the government to spy on Americans. But not a private corporation to do it. Hence, the NSA "outsources" contractors who work for private corporations. I couldn't stop laughing at the congressional hearing after Snowden. "So we give you tax dollars to spy and you were spying?" "How dare you sir"

LaClark, it was a joke

Wait a minute... is this thread getting serious??

edit: I mean... we were discussing Michelle Obamas dick... C'mon!

I Joke about it too lol, im not a conspiracy theorist , I just try and put facts together an make jokes about stuff, obviously I’m not a expert or educated, just have my half hearted options. No one will even know or least untill 50-70 years later when we are all dead and gone and they have to declassify it.

I’m with you on the half hearted opinions / joking. A lot of the time I hold an opinion that I just don’t feel like actually debating someone about so I just don’t share it / mention I don’t want to go into it.

I’ve referenced it here before - the cholesterol hypothesis. I legitimately don’t care what my LDL is as long as my fasting insulin is low, BP optimal, HDL:trig ratio great, and basically any other measure of metabolic health / inflammatory markers optimal.

I know I’m in the minority opinion here, so I don’t really share it, but since I’m in this thread, might as well!

I'm with you.

Nick Norowitz, Ben Bikman, Dave Feldman, Dom D’Agostino…I know there are some other incredibly intelligent folks changing the paradigm re: metabolic health and lipid metabolism, I just can’t think of them off top of my head. That stuff is incredibly interesting to me.

Damn, you get heat because of where you like your lipids? That's F'd up.

Yeah, I like joking around on a lot of stuff, but there is a line when we get serious. And, the time for serious talk is ok. But, you can't slam someone who states what they think. It's ok to disagree. But, fighting someone to accept what I think/believe... not cool and not worth the battle.

100%. That’s what happens when you try to bandaid mental health issues with sex changes and other shit instead of trying to identify and treat the root cause of what is driving someone to have this “gender confusion / identity issues”

This is extremely accurate. There are two genders, and we are born to reproduce ourselves, which is why we are attracted to the opposite sex.

I can totally understand that some people are not born with that, but that can be compared to conditions like schizophrenia, etc. You don't choose your brain chemistry when you born. However, instead of letting them promote these issues in front of our children in schools, on social media, etc., they should address the root cause and seek help.

Honestly, I'm not the kind of person who is homophobic; I won’t insult them and will treat them just like I would any other human. But saying that they are not mentally disturbed would be lying. Why is it considered normal to tell a schizophrenic person that they have a mental illness, but if you say the same about a homosexual, it’s considered homophobic?

It’s like with obesity—some people know and admit that they’re unhealthy, but that's a minority. Most will deny it and promote body positivity. I remember a famous journalist who is lesbian and debated against other LGBT people, acknowledging that, while she is lesbian, she knows it’s not considered normal.

Well I don’t really talk about it so I don’t get heat, lol.

But yeah, live and let live is pretty much the code I abide by, for the most part.

I’m with you. Do what you want with your body. But like you mentioned, keep the confusing ideology away from public schools, especially young children while they are incredibly impressionable and trying to make sense of the world.

We are born with an instinctual drive to procreate with the opposite sex (obviously…). Lacking that, to me, means you’re not fully mentally well. Some people decide to not have children and that’s perfectly fine. But I think to some extent there is a “screw loose” in folks head that are homo/pan/gender fluid/non-binary.. and the list goes on, but yes, not fully mentally well for whatever reason due to brain chemistry imbalances.

Oh god the obesity body positivity movement. Can’t even. Let’s not glorify killing yourself early with food while trying to convince others and yourself that you can be healthy at all sizes Lol. It’s like me saying I can be heathy at all gear doses.

I think it’s perfectly acceptable to live life on your own terms, but where I have issue in general is when folks try to insist it is in fact normal. When it is far from that; when it is abnormal.

Obviously what I / we do is completely not normal and isn’t healthy. But, I’m more than willing to admit that and not pretend it’s something it’s not.

Controversial Opinion…

Disclaimer: Rant while lifting…

As I get closer to 50 I have found chicks and dudes just annoy me. I open the door for you ladies/men or come over and help with weights some mommas boy didn’t take off….

And you just ignore me?

I didn’t even turn down my music or make eye contact. I’ve got little girls and your lady bits and muscles all look the fucking same to me. Trust me… whoever you think you are.. you aren’t.

Are you kidding?

Then an ugly chick does it or some fat dude and I want to slam the door or weight on his/her face… put a couple more dents in that potato he/she calls a head.

Ok…. Ok…. I’m done….

No wait. You are video taping and want to complain because I walked through the shot? You put it in front of the dumbbells you moron…

Oh darn…

I’m standing in front of it doing shoulder raises just to piss you off now because you made some Karen/Ken comment? Really? The same person that rolls her or his eyes and bags on people who are already nervous and obviously don’t fit in….

It is time to let natural selection weed these people out again. Darwin was right….

….

…..

My wife just said I have to quit writing and lift now… she wants to go home at a reasonable time… yall make sure to thank her.

It’s not difficult to fathom. Traditional gender roles come with a lot of baggage and expectations, particularly for women. Folks don’t want to be burdened with that baggage and meet those expectations, ergo “non-binary”.

The distinction itself is one of expression rather than biological. It may be that you choose not to accept that particular expression as a particular gender, but it’s not hard to understand.

I’ve referenced it here before - the cholesterol hypothesis. I legitimately don’t care what my LDL is as long as my fasting insulin is low, BP optimal, HDL:trig ratio great, and basically any other measure of metabolic health / inflammatory markers optimal.

Much like the COVID thing, this is an area that’s rife with misinformation. There is no “LDL hypothesis”. The science is settled, but unfortunately difficult to understand. As such the medical community has oversimplified it as “LDL bad” which is pretty easy to refute.

Can you, for example explain to me necessity and sufficiency as it relates to logic? I doubt it. That’s not a slight as it’s a concept I’d have a difficult time explaining to you. However, it is a logical concept necessary to grasp the function of LDL, other atherogenic particles and inflammation as it relates to the accumulation of plaque burden, which in turn leads to a greater probability of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE).

I won’t give you heat for having that opinion about how you approach your health, but if you attempt to pass it off as sound medical advice, I’m going to jump all over it.
