I think you're making this out to be a bigger deal than it is. They've explicitly said the community is welcoming of all women, and the name is in reference to the old Reddit community. I'm trans myself fyi

Same, it works perfectly fine still! My only gripe is the Nvidia drivers on Linux + Wayland :/

Wouldn't that mean less people will be covered over time? If it stays at 90k and wages go up eventually then more people will be over the threshold

Have you seen the news lately? There's absolutely being work done on this and the newspapers keep running airbnb sob stories. They have been pissed off

20lbs in 2 weeks?? That's an extreme pace that could be dangerous

Why do companies continue to add these clauses then? Just as a deterrent?

Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

I wouldn't say it's useless since it does show a trend of overall weight gain, but yes it can be misleading when the average person still equates BMI and health

I read the article, but I'm not seeing how the metric itself is racist? It's not actually explained, just that it has racist origins (created using white ppl as the reference point) and the application of it as a standard of overall health can have racist applications, which I definitely agree with.

The thing is though, the graph above isn't a graph of "health of American states over time", it's a graph of BMI over time. I think we're mostly just arguing semantics at this point because the original person I replied to was equating normal BMI range = healthy which isn't what's shown here and is unrelated
