What You Said About …

POWER OF EXERCISE

“Thank you for a fantastic article,” wrote cancer survivor and self-described exercise “evangelist” Phyllis Dubinsky of Playa del Rey, Calif., in response to Mandy Oaklander’s Sept. 12–19 cover story on the healing power of movement. Dexanne Clohan, president of the Foundation for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, called the piece “life-changing” but noted that she would have liked more attention paid to those with disabilities who also need “safe and consistent access to recreation and sport.” Meanwhile, Peter Billard of Glastonbury, Conn., lamented the lure of the ever-present home couch: “The exact opposite of mental, social, spiritual and physical activity and personal improvement.”

TRANS PREGNANCY

Some readers were upset by Jessi Hempel’s Sept. 12–19 article about her brother Evan, a transgender man who recently gave birth to his first son–especially the decision to show a photograph of Evan chest-feeding the baby. “The photo was very inappropriate,” wrote Sally Royal of Indianapolis. “How does he think his child will feel when he sees himself nursing at his father’s breast one day?” added Sarah Lohmeyer of St. Louis. But Diane from San Antonio saw it as “wonderful” that the “most beautiful process in the world”–the experience of giving birth–“has now been shared with a man.” Joanne Elliott of South Bowenfels, Australia, agreed, praising TIME for the “extremely moving and sensitive” article.
