i saw you reply to a post about women's restrooms and the concept of the urinary leash. I do not see how banning trans people from the restrooms of their gender doesn't create a urinary leash for trans people. I assume you will claim in bad faith about trans women assaulting cis women in restrooms, when usually cases of "trans women" assaulting cis women in bathrooms are just men who are faking being trans, which absolutely should face a stiffer penalty than if a cis man walked into a women's restroom without fraudulently claiming to be a trans woman. Also, trans people are often victims in this bathroom "debate". Here is some good resources outside of your echo chamber.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/transgender-teens-restricted-bathroom-access-sexual-assault/ https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN13X0BJ/ https://www.newsweek.com/trans-man-attacked-using-womens-restroom-ohio-1723432 https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/no-link-between-trans-inclusive-policies-bathroom-safety-study-finds-n911106 https://www.vox.com/2016/5/18/11690234/women-bathrooms-harassment

I had seen several of those news articles already. Most of us at this point agree with third spaces (I was basically a trans activist in around 2011 when third spaces were what I thought the whole fuss about bathrooms was about - most of the trans activist stuff I was seeing was about creating a third changing room at school for anyone who wanted a private, single use space, and I saw no problems with that, so I supported the trans rights side at the time).

I am also aware that a lot of the people held up as examples are " just faking" being trans. That's actually a major point in the objection to self-id, because self-id creates a situation where there is no legal distinction between those who "fake" and those who don't. (Sometimes attempts are made to add something like penalties on fraudulent declaration, but if the definition of being trans in law or policy is just the declaration, how can it be fraudulent? And how do you prove it is?)

I already covered one story about a surrogate mother who was pressured to abort a healthy pregancy because the reproductive purchasers were led to believe they had a higher chance of twins to the point of expecting it. Now this couple are talking like IVF and surrogacy is a way to order kids like placing an order on Amazon.

"I’m in my baby mama gardening era"— Bunnie XO

On Tuesday's episode of Dumb Blonde, Bunnie, who married Jelly back in 2016, shared that the couple began seeing a fertility specialist in 2019 but weren't mentally and financially ready until 2024. The couple plans to have kids through IVF via a surrogate.

"This journey with IVF, we sat down a couple months ago. And I was just like, I feel like I've accomplished so much in my life. And the only thing that's left is to raise a baby and garden," Bunnie said.

Bunnie continued

"I’m in my baby mama gardening era.""He was like, 'Yeah, I will always have a baby with you. If you want to have a baby, cool. If you don't, cool. Whatever you want to do. So now he's, like, really excited about it," Bunnie said.

"We think we want to have twin boys. I'm not sure; we could have one, we could have two. We don't know what we're going to do yet. We don't plan on implanting until February 2025."

And not to body shame but it sounds like they were trying for a baby while he was overweight. Obesity in men impacts fertility

The Nourishment of the Body and Mind: Relation between Nutrition and Well-Being’

The maintenance of a healthy lifestyle significantly depends on the involvement of a healthy diet including healthy nutritional habits that can also impact the quality of any individual’s life as stated in the research study by Vajdi & Farhangi (2020). The significant involvement of a healthy diet can help in decreasing different health issues such as obesity, health problems, diabetes mainly type 2 diabetes, and many more. Another research study by Downer et al., (2020), has identified that the presence of a proper nutritional diet can also enhance mental health while improving the immune system and physical health as well.

Nutrition and Mental Health

The research study by Muscaritoli (2021) has identified that the presence of a healthy diet mainly consists of well-balanced food items such as significant amounts of nuts, fruits, proteins, and vegetables. The omega-3 within significant levels of food items that contain healthy fat can improve mental health and well-being. The research study by Solomou et al., (2022), has also identified that having food items that are rich in minerals, vitamins, and especially antioxidants can easily increase the mental health levels of individuals.

Benefits of Nutrition

Nutrition has been identified as a significant approach that is related to the development and health of individuals. The research study by Santos (2022), has identified that the presence of quality nutrition can affect the health status of not only children but adults also while decreasing the risks of different non-communicable diseases. Another research study by Grajek et al., (2022), has identified that the associated nutrients within healthy nutritional diets help in achieving the required functions of the body effectively. The benefits also involve the development of a well-structured body that can easily regulate daily chemical activities within the human body.

Preventive Measures Associated with Nutrition

            The significant preventive measure associated with involving nutrition within daily life habits can help in preventing different diseases for maintaining a positive health status within individuals. The research study by Moradell et al., (2023), has identified the use of different types of diets such as ketogenic diet, low carbohydrate diet, and many more as preventive measures. The presence of a ketogenic diet can help in maintaining glycemic index for those individuals who are suffering from diabetes. As a preventive measure 80% of involvement should be provided by nutrition and 20% of involvement should be provided by physical activities for the maintenance of well-being as stated in the research study by Finaret & Masters (2019). The involvement of proper diet plans can help in maintaining the positive health status within individuals by 59%.

Practices associated with Nutritional Health

The significant presence of different nutritional practices related to the maintenance of positive health within well-being involves increasing the level of fibre and vegetables in the diet to burn excess calories as described in the research study by Santos (2022). There is also a requirement to decrease the daily calorie intake while staying hydrated to overcome serious health issues.  Having a proper amount of sleep is also associated with a healthy practice.

A alegria desempenha um papel crucial no nosso bem-estar. Estudos, como o da Dra. Laura Kubzansky, professora e pesquisadora da HSPH (Harvard School of Public Health), têm destacado a importância da alegria para a saúde mental e física de uma pessoa. Os benefícios da alegria vão muito além de melhorar o humor, ajudar a relaxar ou aumentar a autoestima. Por exemplo, quando sorrimos, mesmo sem vontade, o movimento dos músculos, ossos e nervos da face envia um sinal para o cérebro, iniciando a liberação de endorfina. Essa substância, conhecida como o hormônio do bem-estar, é responsável por proporcionar sensações de conforto, disposição, alegria e até mesmo alívio da dor. Portanto, ser feliz é, de fato, uma questão de saúde. Essa percepção já era compartilhada pelo rei Salomão, que registrou que “o coração alegre é bom remédio”, no entanto, é importante ressaltar que a alegria não é uma cura milagrosa para todos os problemas de saúde. Profissionais da área de saúde devem ser consultados e os tratamentos por eles indicados devem ser levados a sério. O que anseio compartilhar através desta reflexão é a conscientização de que ao incorporarmos a alegria em nossas vidas, somos beneficiados com o fortalecimento do nosso sistema imunológico, o que por sua vez melhora a nossa qualidade de vida, quando, ou se estamos enfrentamos problemas de saúde; aceleração do processo de recuperação e a prevenção de doenças. Em suma, independentemente do seu estado de saúde atual, permita-se cultivar a alegria em sua mente e em seu coração. Não deixe que algumas circunstâncias, que são momentaneamente desfavoráveis, enganem você e tentem roubar de você a alegria de ser verdadeiramente feliz. Saiba que existe solução. Lembre-se do que Cristo Jesus disse: “Tenho lhes dito estas palavras para que a minha alegria esteja em vocês e a alegria de vocês seja completa” (João 15:11). Venha conhecer esta pessoa maravilhosa que é o doador de uma alegria inabalável e eterna. Permita que ele mostre a você o caminho para desfrutar de uma vida plena e abundante. Esta reflexão pode abençoar e transformar vidas, por gentileza, compartilhe. #GotasDeSabedoria

Unfortunately, vitamin D deficiency is widespread. Therefore, you risk serious health issues if you don't get enough of this essential nutrient. Regular outdoor sweat sessions are a great way to increase vitamin D levels and lower your risk of disease, in addition to diet changes. Heart disease risk reduction through vigorous exercise has long been known. However, new research from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) suggests a few new explanations for why this is the case. Most notably, it increases vitamin D production. The study found that engaging in vigorous exercise for at least three hours a week—such as running, jogging, or playing basketball or soccer—can reduce the risk of having a heart attack by 22%. They also discovered that those who exercised vigorously had higher HDL (good) cholesterol and vitamin D levels.
