"On this page, I am going to show why diet pills work are the same idea as gay-to-straight programs.Trying to change a person's hunger signals is kind of the same as trying to pump more testosterone into a gay male to make him "manly" and straight. It doesn't work. People eventually become who they are supposed to be.Soy can't make a straight person gay, Gay-to-straight programs do not work and weight loss products and programs do not work. A fat person can diet but be miserable inside just like gay-to-straight camps can make/turn a person straight but those participants are miserable, eventually relapse or even commit suicide.
Includes ::Anti-gay, transphobic "correction" arguments, size-phobic bullshniz, and as a bonus left handers bias to show how stupid and bigoted people are.
Because like it or not Gay people exist and fat people exist.On this page, I am going to show you how bigots twist their fatphobia and homophobia and people who push celibacy and abstinence to condemn those whom they see fit.

- Seeking the Straight and Narrow Weight loss and sexual reorientation in Evangelical America by Lynne Gerber - "Losing weight and changing your sexual orientation are both notoriously difficult to do successfully. Yet many faithful evangelical Christians believe that thinness and heterosexuality are godly ideals—and that God will provide reliable paths toward them for those who fall short. Seeking the Straight and Narrow is a fascinating account of the world of evangelical efforts to alter our strongest bodily desires." // A review of Seeking the Straight and Narrow, by Lynne Gerber | The Christian Century // @Lambda Literary
- "Scientists" and "doctors" spend money on harming beautiful defenseless creatures to spread hate and lies about "how you can't be fat." or how you shouldn't look a certain way because of this X health reason.Why would you trust someone who tortures animals who are considered the closet to humans.Think about it
- "I notice that, amid the scientific terminology, researchers sound kinda glad when their data predict doom for fat people, even the tiny bits of data doom they report here. Also, I can see some glaring failings in this study design......So the research takes one measurement of aerobic fitness when men started military service and that to deaths of study participants. (Never mind the serious question of whether these findings apply to women at all!) There's no tracking of fitness level during the course of their lives. So-called "overweight" people had the same death rates as so-called "healthy" weight people. In the dreaded "obese" category, people who were fit in their teens had a 30% increase in their risk of dying compared to "healthy" weight people who were unfit in their teens. This research completely fails to account for the health impact of fat oppression. So I'm imagining fatter men in Sweden who are fit in their teens, but who live in a society that devalues them and makes them feel unwelcome. Would they continue to pursue fitness or exercise during their lives? Did they get weight-loss messages during their military service? Were they forced to exercise to lose weight? Did this experience predispose them to avoid physical activity once they were civilians again? Did they face other weight barriers in multiple aspects of their lives that contributed to their earlier deaths? Could these influences explain the rather small increase in risk...not even a doubling. In epidemiology, correlational data doesn't seem very impressive to me until it starts getting into triplings or quadruplings or several hundred-times increased risk (like tobacco smoking causes). Such a small effect in a group of people has little applicability for an individual. We'll never know from this research. Also, I notice that even in the study's abstract, it says "the strongest association seen for death related to alcohol and narcotics abuse." They were a bigger impact on when people died than this weight/fitness fine point.Finally, it's rare in my experience for researchers to sound at all glad when the data don't predict doom for fat people. I'll be interested to see Steve Blair, MD's response to this study, if he makes one." - Marilyn Wann, about the new "study" that fat can't = fit.Even though there are COUNTLESS studies that prove otherwise. Bigoted science. I promise you, homophobes do the same thing.Take "scientific" evidence and make it "true"
- Dieting and dieting programs are similar if not the same as conversion therapy/ aversion therapy.
- CBD/DBT therapies are usually used to change the THOUGHT that you need to change, not used TO promote body dysmorphia or self hatred.
- "You don't believe in me that I can lose weight and succeed" This could also be said by people who are gay and want to go to conversion therapy because their peers tell them they should. No, it's you don't NEED to diet and lose weight. You don't NEED to change something that is already fine about you.

- Because they literally want fat people to eat the shit of a thin person to make them thin using Fecal Treatment. This may work for IBS, but "obesity" is not in the intestines, nor is it something that is unhealthy,nor is it a disease, nor is it a germ or bacteria inside the body. It's a person having a different body than someone else. It's not intestines that signal hunger. It's not intestines that love to cook and eat with loved ones, maybe the way to treat obesity is to never have had food or love invented in the first place. This assumes that obesity is caused by bacteria, like that "infectobesity" BS This also assumes that fat people do not eat healthy. wha about thin people who eat like shniz, what about the bacteria creeping' around in them?

Homophobia/Gay-to-straight conversion Therapy
- 5 Things You Should Know About Gay Conversion Therapy by Stephanie Pappas. 5."5. Okay, but what about that one study that found conversion therapies work?Groups that promote conversion therapy often point to a single study to support their work. In 2003, famed psychiatrist Robert Spitzer, who spearheaded the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's mental disorder list in 1973, reported in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior that interviews with conversion therapy patients suggested that some people could change their sexual orientation.The paper was incendiary and highly criticized, given that it relied on interviews with patients instead of measurable benchmarks of same-sex desires. Conservative groups were delighted to have support from Spitzer, who wasn't tainted with religious bias or anti-gay ideology; gay organizations felt betrayed.In the end, however, Spitzer came to agree with his critics. There was no way to confirm that what his interviewees said was true, he wrote in 2012 to the editor of the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior. The study, he said, was fatally flawed.'I believe I owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the efficacy of reparative therapy," Spitzer wrote.'"

- Not if you practice safe sex. See the same "health" isses that are "associated" with homosexuality. People who have sex sometimes get an STD, but not EVERYONE who has sex,get an STD. It's mostly from not being smart or practicing safe sex.
- So is shaming someone for what they do with their own body. It would be between God and that person, not for you to judge. Not everyone believes in the same God.
