*Intersectionality* just sayin.....

It's a lifestyle forum as much as anything. Health/fitness/weight loss are a lifestyle. The very reason they allow groups on this site is to further the community bond by identifying relatable peers and allies.

There's more to fitness than the physical aspect. mental health is just as important. this forum is a safe place for people to express their identities and get help with issues that others might not struggle with, i.e. coming out or marriage equality as mentioned above. when posting something about being LGBT on the main forums , the threads are locked and deleted within a few hours; even if i say, "hi, i'm thepinkpanda, i'm a lesbian looking to gain some muscle." innocent enough, right?

LGBT is as much a part of identity (at least for me) as being a wife/mother/christian etc. might be for someone else. I came to this group to find individuals that i can relate to, even if it isn't strictly about physical health. I've learned about people, I've made friends and hey, we even discuss fitness and cheer for each other on our walls.

If you have a physical fitness topic or question, post up a new thread instead of lamenting about the lack of physical fitness topics. You will find there have been a few, especially for our trans community looking for information about working out with hormones. If you aren't interested in the other aspects of the community, no one is making you read those threads.

I agree with Pink Panda. What about the entire "Chit Chat/Just for Fun" message board -- very little on that board has anything directly related to fitness. But it's a way for community members to connect.

People just have to hate...haters gonna hate lol

I don't think you're hating. But you have thrown down the gauntlet. The onus is on you to start up a fitness thread...
