  • Good on you for getting back into fitness and making progress. Always nice when you can be supportive towards someone else who is just starting out or getting back into it as well.

    My advice is don’t try to prove anything to anyone. Use the weights and stations that you feel comfortable with; don’t try to go heavier to show off or avoid certain exercises because people might perceive them as too feminine or too masculine.

    I work out 4-5x a week. It helps shut off the noise in my head and motivates me to be healthier in other aspects of my life. I’m pleased with the definition I have but I’d like to be bulkier. I have a narrow frame and am naturally not that physically strong so that’s a bit of a challenge.










  • There is probably a way migrate or at least export your contacts and email history so that you save any important conversations or contacts for future reference.

    In my experience, most places have been understanding and updated my contact when I said I was registered with an old email address that I no longer have access to. If it’s a government service they’ll have other information of yours that you can verify yourself with. Make a note of deleted account names in case they are needed for verification.

    If you’re really uncertain, you could set up forwarding to your new email address and retain the old one for some time without using it before you delete.



  • A depressing article as a whole, but the section on infibulation was an especially horrific read.

    There isn’t a reliable way to test for virginity as both the hymen and vaginal laxity vary with individual anatomy (most hymens partially cover the vagina and have one or more openings, but some women are born without any openings in the hymen or without a hymen altogether), the hymen can tear from non-sexual activity, the hymen may be flexible enough that penetration doesn’t result in tearing, and bleeding can be caused by injuries to vaginal walls rather than from damage to the hymen itself which has few blood vessels.
