The human body is very capable of adapting to non-ideal circumstances, even for extended durations of time. As a child, I was always very thin, and by the development-critical years of middle school, I had barely managed to weigh 84 pounds. At the present, I weigh 117 pounds about a year after graduating high school. I felt "fine" for all this time since my body decided to allocate most of its limited energy intake to the brain, leaving little room for a full-depth puberty. Body hair is present to an extent... but muscle tone is notably lacking and the only notable (relative) fat reserves are in the buttocks. The genitalia are poorly developed; while functional, it is clear not much change has happened since my early teenage years. Beyond physical anatomy, the core frameworks supporting sexual attraction in the brain are almost nonexistent... falling to zero for extended periods, with brief "rallying" episodes once every 3 months or so. Essentially, a bad childhood has crippled my body and brain in a way where the concept of reproduction has been "abandoned" for the goal of day-to-day survival.

How sickly did you get? What was your bmi, and did you develop vellois hair or thermoregulation issues? Any digestive issues like IBS or Crohn's?I think there's many women who stunted their puberties due to anorexia, I've dated two different women, who are very short, that have very small breasts that don't seem to have actual breast tissue and feel more like an advanced form of gynecomastia. I think that not focusing on reproduction doesn't "cripple your brain", however. These women are not seen as unhealthy because starvation was an expected behavior of them. It definitely causes brain damage and a host of health issues, but these issues are attached to what is considered "healthy" and "attractive" for women as height is the primary sexual dimorphism, even more important than things like capability of reproduction.The reason for this is like Baudrillard said - we do not live in reality but rather produce reality from the desert of the real in the form of images. The aspect Baudrillard misses, which other philosophers in fact got right much earlier, is that there never was a historically authentic period in which we were not producing signs and simulacra. Sexual dimorphism is a part of the spectacle, but anything else would be as well.
>>43646728everything>>43646770ah sorryi probably should've clarifieduhim a cis m repper igthough it is more of a "hehehe that'd be fun i have nothing to lose" thing than something i obsess overbut to answer your questions, i never really got all that sick. i was sensitive to temperature (still am) but nothing else. only noteworthy event was when i got lightheaded after eating a steak in less than 5 minutes a few weeks ago. kinda like people in auschwitzalso i was on known... damaging medications at the time. risperdal. and i had high prolactin for several years until i got off of it. but the effects of that were never obvious to me.
