Fasting for Others
Fasting for Others
Society is now confronted with individuals who do not identify as either male or female. While I am not an expert on the politics of this relatively new situation, I am knowledgeable about the biology. What can I tell you? I must admit that I cannot find any guidance on the matter. It seems to be an ongoing experiment in human hormone manipulation.
I don’t see any obvious reason why someone in this category could not participate in the food plans, including the fasting plan. I propose that all members of this category follow the Fasting for Women protocol regardless of their current status or where they are starting from. Why? A basic principle of medicine is to choose the option with the least potential for harm. For biological women, the men’s fast is harmful. For biological men, the women’s fast produces slower results but is not harmful.
Therefore, I recommend that everyone in this category follow the Fasting for Women protocol. Until more data becomes available, I believe this is the most prudent course of action.
