I'm really struggling with my eating disorder right now. I am desperate to binge, despite having binged for the last 2.5 weeks solid. 

I made it through four weeks with good eating habits, and then suddenly it all fell apart, and I don't even know why.

Eugh. Thank god I can go to sleep now and it's not going to consume me like it does when I'm awake.

I just hope you put good soon 👊

Damn Rick Allen, drummer to Def  Leppard was assaulted the other night, but some 22 year old moron who I guess was on spring break. Allen went out of his hotel to have a smoke and this kid who had been trying to break into cars and other shit ran into Rick and knocked him to the ground and he hit his head. A woman came by to help and then this bastard started attacking her.

The cops caught him, but he was released on bail. Rick wants to prosecute him, but if this little fucker goes back to Ohio, can they get him back to Florida for a trial. I bet his daddy is rich and will get big time lawyers to make up some mental problems not just that he's a little bastard who was either drunk or high and was causing all kinds of trouble.

I just hope  Rick is okay.  The violence in America is getting out of control.

Every day/night in Dallas some violent act happens. People were eating in a Dallas restaurant Saturday nigh and someone started shooting the place. 4 people were injured. 

The mayor said he was upping police presence, but where? The whole city is getting out of control. I live in Garland and I do see Garland police SUV's driving around but at night all you hear is cars racing down the streets. It's Thundrerdome!

Work stuff. I changed job last year and now have offices across the country.

 

Somewhat concerning is the London trips. I may yet bump into, or be bumped into, by Dazey.

"Smothered" is the word, I believe.

You should also look out for a black lad, that could easily be Len. And if you see a guy who are definitely crossing the lines of cultural appropriation, that would be that Croydon guy. You could all have a mygnrforum get together before being mercilessly drowned in the Thames.

This leaves me speechless. I don't understand how people can be so dumb.

A principal of a Florida school has been forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth-grade students were exposed to pornography.

The complaint arose from a Renaissance art lesson where students were shown Michelangelo's statue of David.

Seriously, it sounds like a ridiculously farfetched april fool's.

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Although I think if it's a non-contact sport, female to male transgenders should be allowed to compete with men, if they really, really want to despite inevitably doing terribly every time due to the huge disadvantage of reality/biology.

They should just have their own sports events etc. Probably isn't enough of them to do that though and nobody would spectate. I feel sorry for them but that's just how it is, can't sacrifice women's sports for them.

the huge disadvantage is what makes it funny though

males have XY chromosome, women XX.

two genders, it's that simple.

all the other letters are made up, social constructs. It's fine to pretend these exist, in a social context, but claiming it's biology is like being a creationist, or denying the earth is round

when sexual preference and gender are mixed up, you know any sense of ratio and logic is being thrown out of the window 

only certain types of snails are truly "gender fluid". Not really an animal you'd like to be associated with. Unless you want to be known as a "human snail".

male - female is the core principle of biology; fauna and flora. That's the duality, biology created through evolution, to benefit the survival of the species.

The concept of "gender fluidity" is not grounded in reality. it can not be proven scientifically. It's basically a religion; a belief. and like every religion, it leads to intolerance and violence.

Biological sex and gender are not the same things. Biological sex is based on genes and mostly a binary thing ("men and women"). I say mostly because genetics is rarely a simple thing and you can have more than just the XX and XY sex chromosome pairs in addition to gene-expression that muffle it all resulting in things like intersex, that is individuals that cannot be easily placed in either sex. But the vast majority of us are clearly either biological male or female.

Gender is the role we take in society. Like there are expectations that come with biological sex, like men are supposed to be like this and that. Some people don't accept that, some want to identify as the expectations we have for the opposite sex, or something in-between, or decide to want to change this as they age (gender fluidity). There is nothing new in this either, we've had transpeople probably as long as we have existed as a species and gender roles were defined. It's all fine and shouldn't get anyone's panties in a twist. 

This understanding of the difference between sex and gender has been around since the 1950s. It would probably be easier if we had different words for a man and women when we talk about the sex and the gender. As it is now, it is easy to not be precise and it is easy to misunderstand. More here: Sex–gender distinction - Wikipedia

Biological men are more physical than biological women, so in sports it has traditionally been usual to separate the sexes. Otherwise men would likely dominate and women would be left out. It is emancipating. Because of this I am also against biological men, yet identifying as women, competing in women's sports. It would undermine the principle of separating sports based on biological sex to allow both sexes to have their "playground".

I see no reason to seek new words for "man" and "woman".

there are enough new words, and forbidden words, as it is. This "newspeak" movement is getting out of control.

Gender, defined as the role we take in society, is a totally man made, imaginary concept. The definition given to it by wokists, largely does not meet the reality of society.

When wokists want to "give more rights" to women, they mean; give them equal roles as men. They think, they are being progressive this way. What they dont realise, it that the gender roles they so despise, are a product of the progressive sixties (the most progressive movement in recent history). Prior to the progressive sixties, women indeed had the same roles as men. they worked on the field, they worked in the factory plants, just the same as men. Children too, from the age of 7. This led to much social injustice, because women are generally weaker than men, and this in disadvantage when it came to hard work.

So this so called progressive movement of today, is in reality a backwards movement, and a toxic present.

I know many women, who like being at home when the man is out working. So they can take care of the household and the child. The happiest people were those of the sixties, where these roles were attributed. Today though, families are broken up, and there is a general wave of depression in society. That's why I am against equal roles for men and women, and against the newly defined gender roles.
