Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

On the contrary, I am supposing that intersex and other non-binary, divergent sexual individuals who, one way or the other, depend on the estrogens and such hormones will find that their bodies (their brains) are expecting the AFAB/female cycles and details, and then they'll live the same experience of high cortisol while fasting, the hormonal changes, etc. That's why I prefer to call it a "female biology" and not "women's" because there's probably in here someone who has that body, that sex, but not that gender identity. Also, I'm not a doctor so I don't know for sure about intersex and trans bodies, but I doubt science knows a lot more, TBH. We'll have to wait for science to research bodies inclusively.
