@gojira7 People get mad on this sub when you speak the truth on the BMI. A lot of people have tied some sort of self worth or something to having a low BMI? Or they're ashamed of a higher BMI? I don't know what it is but the BMI is trash and no one should use it as a health metric. The man who...

@branna 100% I've heard of stereotype threat and how that impacts girls and students of color in STEM, but this really adds to that. So true around the spaces we feel comfortable occupying and the spaces we don't.
