Ah, you're back with yet more appeals to irrelevant authority, badly authored studies, and cherry-picked data. Didn't take enough of a beating last time, I gather?

Now go away and frequent blogs where your kind of troll is welcome. In case you missed the memo, your sort of foolishness wastes everyone's time, especially mine, and we have better things to do than pander to your delusions.

Hmmmm…why? theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/03/nih-lesbian-fat-study/317488/
Oh, because of minority stress…
"
Yet, overall, gay men act like women- the gay-fairy stereotype exists for a reason- and gay women act like men, as anyone who has ever had to deal with the distasteful aftermath of a gay pride rally has found out.

It is therefore unsurprising that gay men think that, like, they look totally fat in those jeans, darling- while gay women would be more interested in the donuts and Twinkies Danishes muffins pastries."
Or you know, take better care of themselves..

Sigh… homoresponse.blogspot.com/2011/05/countering-heterosexist-arguments.html
And feeds back into body shaming… journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0361684316635529?journalCode=pwqa

So really it ties back in to discrimination and internalized homophobia.

That being said, anyone who has spent any significant time in the USA knows quite well that this country is full of heffalumps." So you know its bullshit but it confirms biases? Why the double standard? theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/03/nih-lesbian-fat-study/317488/
