Gay muscle” vs “straight muscle”? That’s not a thing. Physiology is physiology. 💪
But how we experience the gym? Totally different.
Some people walk in and get judged, bullied, misgendered, made to feel like their body doesn’t belong. And when your body doesn’t feel safe, it stays in fight or flight. Cortisol spikes. That works against every rep you put in.
So no, safer spaces aren’t about biology.
They’re about lived experience. Feel safe, train better. Simple as that. 🧠
