A crop of conservative personalities such as Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, and outlets like Evie, are convincing young women of a gender-essentialist worldview

Agreed. There is nothing wrong about being thin.
No, thinness in and of itself isn’t something to pursue other than for vanity. A person isn’t made any healthier by magically becoming thin. I’ve seen that with my own eyes, knowing someone who has had bariatric surgery and lost 165 lbs.
And if someone is pursuing it out of vanity, significant weight loss will age your appearance considerably.
Not really true. Your joints will thank you for the lower weight they have to support. However, I do agree that that is not the good way. You should work out and eat less junk food/sweets/fatty stuff. Doing that will make you healthier, and getting thin is a natural byproduct of that.
And what about body builders that have 200pounds of muscle… are they “unhealthy”?
They will certainly have some problems later on. Many professional body builders are having joint and bone issues. Markus Rühl once gave an interview where he said (roughly translated) “My body is basically a wreck. My body is just kept together by the muscles”.
However, muscles are also supporting the body, fat doesn’t. So while having excessive muscles will be a problem at some point, being fat is a much bigger problem much earlier.
Less weight on the joints sure, but reactive hypoglycemia and iron deficiency also. Less weight on the joint can help you pursue health by making activity less destructive to joints, but if you don’t become more active, being thin does nothing by itself. Sounds like we are largely in agreement but I don’t think being thin is a goal at all. Obesity is a bar set too low. I think my wife might be back to obese at 150lbs, and she is still thin af to me. Sex sucked when she was skin and bones.
Yes, basically. You have to pursue the healthy lifestyle that leads to being thing is what I’m trying to say.
Thinner does not equate health, one can not be truly healthy while obese. It is Terrible for your body. Pretty much every organ system is working overtime and struggling. There is inflammation everywhere, your joints are suffering.
The healthy at any size stuff is a massive lie.
Yes, skinny people and regular sized people get sick too. Just like people who don’t smoke can still get lung cancer.
Obesity is set too low. See other comment I guess.
Being overweight is unhealthy. No amount of propaganda will change that.
