Cuz they want it to be true. They want their "opponents" to be vile creatures so they can claim the moral highground.

Makes it easier to dismiss their arguments.

Are you that desperate to be a victim? You'd accuse others, very rudely, without any proof, just so you can play a game of gotcha?

In another post I have mentioned having over 2 decades of experience with troubled youth and young adults. You might find the comment, you might not, I tend to delete comments often.

In my line of work suicide of those we aim to help is a very real possibility. During those years we have lost 11 transitioned young people who explicitly mentioned their new body being a large part of the reason why they took that drastic step. They are not found in the statistics linked in this thread. Other factors did play a part, true. But those are the ones that explicitly mentioned it. A few of those mentioned explicitly how they felt under informed about the negative possibilities. They were mostly told, by people like you, online and in other trans communities, that life will be much better afterwards. Medical professionals downplayed the medical risks, complications, pain, discomfort. Oh they were mentioned, but downplayed.

The worst thing I could wish upon you: may you be treated how you treat others.

Because this post is about trans care. There are certain online ethics that kinda prohibit hijacking of posts. One of the 10k today?

You are hilarious. Not in a good way. You are incapable of having a normal discussion. You always, without fail go for the ad hominem. Your conduct here today is a disservice to the trans community.

 

As the title says, I'm new to running. Due to medical reasons I was never allowed to do any sports. Which turned me into a 40 yo fatass. Well my horrible diet didn't help either.

Finally had enough and started running, prolly the first time in my life, about 3 months ago. It went worse than I thought. 1min at 7km/hr and then 4-5min walk cycles for a total of 5 mins running was all I could manage the first few weeks.

I kept at it, slowly increasing running time and walking pace. Got stuck at 15min running, just couldn't go longer. Last week I said fuck it and went for a full 5k. At the 15min mark I had my usual dip/shutdown, but pushed through and finished the run with a HR at 172-176 for the final 20 mins. Repeated the 5k twice now and the last time my max HR was at 156-ish.

Found my unconscious breathing was holding me back. When I focus on proper breathing I can keep going.

Next goal is upping from 8km/hr to 10 for the 5km, then extending the runs. End goal is doing some 10mile races next year.

Started running for weight loss, which so far has been great. +130kg to 110kg.
