Fasting for Others
Society is now faced with the issue of those who do not fall into the category of men or women. The politics of this relatively new situation is not my area but the biology is. What do I tell you? I have to admit that I am unable to find any guidance. It appears to be an experiment in human hormone manipulation in progress.
I don’t see any obvious reason why someone in this category could not participate in the food plans, including the fasting. I propose that all members of this category, regardless of starting or present status should follow the Fasting for Women protocol. Why? A basic principle in Medicine is to choose an option with the least potential for harm. In the case of biologic women, the men’s fast is harmful. In the case of biologic men, the women’s fast will get results slower, but is not harmful.
Therefore I recommend everyone in this category follow the Fasting for Women protocol. I think this is the most prudent course of action.
