peelout Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Wanted to welcome to you to nerdfitness - the site that never sleeps. I must say that's a new on me, but I don't judge anyone as it doesn't affect me and I could care less. (Didn't mean to sound like I thought you needed my approval when I said that. Sometimes when you type things it can mean something totally different to someone else). Can't say I'm interested though since I'm pretty narrowly focused on what people are doing w/ their diets and exercise. I don't even chit chat much. Glad to discuss any diet or exercise related matters though. Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Came here to post the thread link that Seven already has. Plenty of gender queer/non-conforming (pick you adjective, I just lovingly call them alphabet soup) members here. Welcome to NF, the most accepting online community I've ever been a part of. 3 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Jett Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hallo! I am also genderqueer, and have found that at NerdFitness, that is quite surprisingly not an issue at all. I will probably follow your fitness log, since it is interesting and pleasant to interact with someone who encounters similar awkward situations that most people don't understand. 1 Quote Current Challenge | Daily Log Link to comment
peelout Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I find the idea that this entire topic is discussed openly (and as not being a big deal) quite interesting. I'm sure you would not find the acceptance rate at 100% even on this site, but years ago, you would have gotten about 1000 hateful replies by now (if we actually had internet when I was young, lol). I'm 54, and back when I was young, being "queer" was something the majority of the public (including me), would speak negatively about. Now that I'm older and wiser (although the 2 don't always go hand in hand), I could care less what other people do as long as it doesn't affect me in any negative way. So it's pretty cool to see the responses I've seen here. Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Jett Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 It may be that not everyone on NerdFitness is comfortable with queerness, but they at least are not mean about it. It really helps that the administrative staff of NerdFitness is welcoming and supportive of having a queer portion of their user base, and they do not tolerate any form of discrimination. (Don't be a dick! Gainsdalf will smite you!) The rest of society seems to be slowly (SLOWWWLY) catching up, but it's safe places on the internet like this that are really changing the experience of queer folk.

(Don't be a dick! Gainsdalf will smite you!) The rest of society seems to be slowly (SLOWWWLY) catching up, but it's safe places on the internet like this that are really changing the experience of queer folk. It's very much this. There are probably plenty of people on here who aren't comfortable with it, but we as the mod team have made it very clearly known that any hateful speech on these boards on any topic, not just this one, will be dealt with with a very heavy hammer. That said, being a nerd community, most of us have been "socially queer", different from the norm in one way or another and probably outcast in some ways from at least some groups at one point in another. Because of that, I think we tend to be way more accepting than the general population, because almost all of us know what it feels like to be different and get crap for it. Even if we disagree or dislike the way someone else is different, we're not going to do the same to them. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

BlackTezca Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Welcome! I will say that I will be interested in hearing your regarding gender as related to fitness. I know that a lot of conventional reasoning (seen in those stupid grocery magazines) tends to be strict in the separation between male and female fitness (because reasons ), so I really enjoy hearing musings and discussions on those topics . NerdFitness, overall, seems quite accepting and I do you stay and feel free to talk, chat, whatever! Again welcome FortuneDays !

Jett Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Your description of how you do that move sounds kind of hilarious, but if it makes you feel dysphoric, then that's not cool. Find youtube videos and practice in your room! Still looking forward to seeing your battle log/musings thread. :3 Quote Current Challenge | Daily Log Link to comment

Noname123 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Until then, my note for today is I need to learn how to do that Zumba/dance move that's like a hip thrust but it involves crunching your abs/sticking out your chest too? I think being able to do it properly ("like a woman" even) will be less dysphoric than sitting there spazzing out with my chest and butt undulating wildly and arms flying everywhere. Made me lawl, I have to say Zumba is one of those things I could never get coordinated for. I'll be interested in reading your adventures in figuring the moves out!!
