A friend of mine, who is just at the border of “normal” and “overweight” on the BMI scale, had a doctor refuse to remove a shard of glass from her hand until she lost 20 pounds. He said the surgery was too dangerous at her weight. There could be complications.
She ended up cutting her hand open and doing it herself.
That seems strange, although depending on how tall she was weight diffentials get pretty small. Like if you are 5’5 or below the difference between obese and normal is under 25 pounds (small window for overweight) It’s only 40 pounds at 6’5. People are always built differently though so it’s weird. When I was in my best shape I was always considered overweight according to the BMI chart because I was between 5’10/5’11 and was always around 187 pounds. No doctor would have called me fat at that time because I ran 5-10 miles a day and could dunk a basketball with both hands, I was lean but density was just high. I don’t know anything about surgeries but I would figure they have to do with blood pressure and clotting habits maybe? The doctor likely was just an ass, hopefully her hand healed up well. Pain in the ass medical field we have here.
Womensstuff? Strangest echo chamber I have ever seen since they accept AFAB Transmen and AMAB Transwomen but specifically exclude AMAB men. I get it, it’s called women’s stuff, but it’s just as unwholesome as any “boy’s club”. I cringe every time I see the passive aggressive, warning/power trip when some supportive cisman comments. Just read her comment history for examples. Genderfluid peeps out there ducking the banhammer every other day.
Getting a lot of righteous indignation in my inbox. Femcel energy.
The internet is male dominated and everywhere you see people talking from a point of male privilege. There is a single community that imposes measures so that it isn’t and you are complaining that you can’t write on there. Get a life. Cis men are not being oppressed by being barred from discussing on there, you got the entire rest of the internet for yourself.
See right here you just made an incorrect assumption about me. This is the kind of stuff im talking about. Toxic. Anyone that disagrees with you is a cis man.
Boys clubs are sexist instututions. Womensstuff is a sexist space for the same reasons.
I mostly just cringe at the mod interaction but I take offense at grouping people arbitrarily and squashing dissenting opinion. It makes people wary to comment for fear of being purity tested. That’s not a safe space.
Sure and you definitely take the time to criticize all the incels on here when they post sexism to the general meme pages too, right? When was tbe last time you confronted sexism from men on Lemmy?
Went through 3 pages of your comments and so far havent seen you address any misogyny on Lemmy. Seems misandry is your only concern. Gee, how unsurprising
I’m sure I have. But you went through my comment history looking for a blugeon to cheapen my argument and you failed. I call out bullshit when I see it but also when I have time. The only reason I said something here is because I thought someone was calling womensstuff wholesome, which it is not. Feel free to be offended at me calling out sexism. It really shows your priorities are backwards.
Edit: After a bit of reading on your comment history (to make sure I wasn’t wasting my time) I find you are earnest.
That was the 20th century that they skipped I guess. We as a whole got so overweight that by the 21st century we just started defending it.
I feel bad posting that recognizing your name also runs a wholesome community…

Yeah, bmi is a terrible measure of health. If you’re at all muscular it’s just going to say you’re fat.
Haha it’s fine
Edit: apparently Wholesome and Lemmywholesome

I assumed such because those tend to be the people who take issue with that community.
I can’t see what your problem with that community is then. Safe spaces are important.

You don’t call out sexism. You call out women.
And you give Aunt Lydia pick me energy.
You wound me. I don’t know how I’ll ever recover from such a barb.
Wholesome and lemmybe wholesome, I don’t meander into the others
Never noticed she led those. That’s fair.
