Facepalm of the morning 🤦

Want to lose weight faster? Be non binary! 😂

Good news for us ladies, I was looking about calorie deficits to lose weight and came across this. Did you know that non binaries are able to eat more calories and still lose weight than us more women? 😂😂

Off to declare myself theyself and gorge on cake!

😂😂😂

Beclowing themselves - every single time.

Hurrah!
I don't consider myself to have a gender (I'm female cos I was born like that and don't know how it 'feels' to be any different). Does that make me non binary by default? Great news if it means I can have more calories without putting on weight!

So they've literally just taken the average for male and female calorie guidance, and said that's the non binary amount

Because obviously non-binary means a 50:50 mix of male and female.

Idiots

Well, obviously. I mean, sex, sorry, gender is a spectrum, right? With women at one end, men at the other and non-binary individuals in the middle.

So women = MDCI 1.200, men = MDCI 1,500 and non-binary individuals bang in the middle = 1,350.

ETA this is sarcasm - where is that blasted emoji?

Marvellous. I can eat quite a lot of cake before I put on weight. I have short hair and rarely wear make up. I'm clearly non binary. Who knew? 😂

Hilarious 😂

Shows how much thought goes into this rubbish

This really has made me laugh this morning. Of course, the worry is that these are people trying to advise others from a position of knowledge?

They've got the maths all wrong. It should be 2700 calories. After all an NB is outside the binary so the figures for a man and woman should be added, not averaged.

Very much looking forward to smashing the binary by eating a fuck ton of cake today.

I will join you on having an extra bit of cake dinosaur.

They didn’t think that through at all, did they?

What were they thinking, genuinely?

Do they think men eat more than women just to feel manly? (Rather than physically having higher calorific needs.)

And women eat less than men to feel dainty?

So if you're non binary you eat a middling amount to feel somewhere in between manly and dainty.

Mainty? Danly?

Or maybe they think, if you're a natal woman, you just need to eat an extra 150 calories a day and your body will become manlier (and therefore become a non binary body)

And if a natal man, you eat 150 calories less and you'll shrink 3 inches and have smaller feet, and thereby become a non binary body?

Oh thank you, a good guffaw for the morning!!

Looking forward to DadJoke joining the thread to remind us that non-binary calories are valid, and not counting them is against the law.

That's okay. My food identifies as calorie free.

I suspect you're not far off.
These people! 😂

I'm going to take this very seriously. I'll identify as a man, expect the pounds to drop off, and get really annoyed if it doesn't work. I'll then make a complaint to the website saying they're transphobic and they need to address trans weight loss too.

Well yes. Will nobody consider the poor, hungry trans women?

Is there a link to this piece of ridiculousness?

What were they thinking, genuinely?

They weren't. They just acted on a compulsion to be 'inclusive'.

Sorry, here

These people are bonkers.

Fucking hell that’s hilarious
