Gender Qualms

skinnyredbones

Hey guys, Nick here. I just wanted to bring up something that makes me a bit uncomfortable when I log into MFP. I'm transgender, so I identify as male but have the body of a female. I don't like seeing all my status updates have "she" in them, but if I change my "gender" (should say "sex", really) on my profile, then it recalculates all my nutrition goals to be for a man's body.

Not sure where to put this really, just looking for support on the matter.

The Suggestions/Feedback forum would be a good place

Good luck

What if you change the gender on your profile and then override the MFP calorie goals to what they are now? You can do a custom target.

MFP has asked for community input for this issue, and will be fixing it in the future so that nutritional goals will be for biological sex but pronouns can be set for your gender

You can adjust the nutritional/calorie goals yourself. So note down what it gives you for female and change the goals accordingly under male. I think it's under goals/settings from home page where you can custom.

(I haven't looked at that for a while though)

@MarziPanda95 I'm trying to find this post where MFP are asking/talking about gender identity, but I can't find it! Do you know where I should look or which search terms might work?
