Why are they so enormously homoerotic? If you want to suck a dick, go for it. Grindr is a thing.
So either get railed or fuck your bottoms until they are in heaven.
But god fucking damn it, stop screwing with the world.
Testosterone isn’t like… You need a certain level to be a real man or something.
Hormones are very complex but here is something.
Low status males have more testosterone.
Men who have children have lower testosterone.
It isn’t as simple as more=better.
It likely is, in part, related to aggression when too high.
Lower levels as men get older doesn’t really seem to be a problem except advertising tells men it means they aren’t good enough anymore and definitely need to buy their products to increase it.
As a feminist I am equally appalled at the attack on men’s bodies as those on women.
I think there has been this big shift to constantly tell men there is something wrong with them and to sell them a fix.
It’s disgusting.
I watch TV sometimes (antenna, and mostly Xena or x-files) in the evening and it’s non stop erectile dysfunction medication commercials or hair loss. Or testosterone boosting supplements.
Jesus , leave men alone. They have enough shit to worry about without making them insecure about existing. The commercials are so dystopian from my female perspective.
Idk how they make men feel but nothing good.
Low status males have more testosterone.
Getting some strong Andrew Tate’s vibes here
sounds like you have been consuming too much manosphere bs.
Imagine paying your tax for that.
he wants to personally “inspect” each men in the leadership for thier testerone levels.
Let’s check your testosterone, girly man
Isn’t this Gender affirming care? /s
It’s a bunch of men about to find out that testosterone isn’t that important, or about to become very neurotic and insecure about it.
Personally I think we should also test their blood flow responses when shown certain images, and do Kinsey scale testing as well.
Really shock them with some self-knowledge and hate for governments overstepping their boundaries.
I am almost entirely hairless below my neck and have a full head of hair in my mid 40s.
I am probably on the low end of the testosterone scale.
I’m also 5’6".
I never let it stop me from being an absolute horn dog and doing pretty darn well if I do say so myself.
I am almost entirely hairless below my neck
Me t…
have a full head of hair in my mid 40s.
… Never mind.
Happiness is the goal
Everything else is nonsense
I am almost entirely hairless from my neck down and have a full head of hair and the last time my testosterone was tested it was at 1332 when the scale typically tops out at 1100.
I’m in my mid 30s.
You might have androgen insensitivity syndrome, I do not think that I do, as I have recently started growing facial hair. It’s just been a very long and slow process for me.
I had some issues, so I got it tested, and it turns out I’m 0.1 above the threshold for men to get HRT. The absolute lowest “normal” range for men, so they can’t legally help me 😂
For some reason my beard is epic though. Shame I hate having a beard, was planning to get it lasered off. The cosmetic surgeon looked like I suggested killing a puppy and tried to talk me out of it. It’s my face, I don’t care if everyone else likes it prickly and uncomfortable
My mate once waxed his beard. It was painful, hilarious and patchy in equal measures.
very neurotic and insecure
$100 on neurotic and insecure!
Here come the testosterone patches and injections … a tear or two later testicular measurements are made mandatory…
At what point will they realize they’re obsessing over something?
the military already covered care for testosterone deficiency as part of its free healthcare
usually it involves symptoms of those deficiencies though.
That’s socialism!?!
Standing in line to eat the same food, giving your all to protect/help your comrades when they are vulnerable and can’t fight for themselves, uniforms, sacrificing your individuality for the greater good.
Every Army ever is communism.
The US military is the most socialist organization in that country.
Completely unsarcastically, yes. So are the “Full Mast Men’s Mega Growth XXL Hormone Treatment” ads you see everywhere
The serious response I have is that the end-goal matters. It doesn’t seem like screening for a medical condition that involves hormones is automatically gender-affirming.
No, no. Just announcing the policy makes Pete feel more like a man’s manly man.
Screening? No not really; but they’re giving TRT to soldiers who aren’t at their peak.
So it’s gender-affirming care.
I’ve learned recently that I’m low-T and have had indicative symptoms all my life, and it may even have factored into my major depression.
And though my endocrinologist recommends replacement therapy, I’m genuinely afraid I’ll turn into Pete Hegseth.
it can cause low libido too, if they reccommended its a valid reason to take it.
Before you get your next tattoo, just double check that it’s not more than “just a cool looking skull”.
I’m mid to high T male. Was struggling with depression for 3 years, I’m balding ugly, and though my beard is thick, it’s highly uneven.
There’s a straightforward explanation for this.
Pete Hegseth is a fucking idiot.
My opinion is it’s gayforward projection.
he does have a glamour room all to himself.
I think this is an attempt to further justify eliminating senior military that oppose unlawful orders. You make less T as you age. Plenty of 30 year old, lead brained, country bumpkin dumbfuck MAGAts in entry level officer positions they can randomly make generals.
You can’t just use the same explanation for everything.
When it stops working as an explanation for his behavior then we can switch to his drinking problem
Another grift. Of course they’re gonna partner with a specific pharma company.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a new Pentagon initiative mandating annual testosterone screenings for all military service members aged 30 and older to maintain a “tactical advantage.” Troops who test low will be offered voluntary testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), a move the Pentagon chief framed as keeping the military on the “leading edge of lethality” while nicknaming the Pentagon “The High-T Department of War.”
A 30 year old service member has over a decade of experience. This is orders of magnitude more valuable and important than whatever pseudo science bullshit this alcohol-brained dumbass is pushing there.
I’m guessing a 30 year old service member is far less likely to be in an active combat role (special forces aside) and more likely to be doing administration, leadership, teaching, logistics, etc.
You know, roles where keeping a cool head is especially important.
Troops who test low will be offered voluntary testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
So… Hrt?
I thought TRT messes up your body’s ability to produce testosterone naturally. Not good.
Testosterone production drops quite significantly over time. We generally accept hormonal therapy for women often for a majority of their life; it’s not necessarily something to condemn. However, it’s not really well developed (shots every few weeks makes the testosterone level ridiculously high for a while and then drop to pretty low levels as the date for the next dose approaches) and there’s a really good chance they’ll overprescribe on the “manly drugs”. There’s a good number of side effects, including being a dumb-dumb, as Pete demonstrated.
Exogenous testosterone does (often permanently) drop natural production. If they’re signing up for a lifetime of free TRT, it’s probably not really a concern. I somehow doubt that they will, and suspect that the low T is “not service related as there was a demonstrable low T level 10 years ago.”
That dude ain’t right
I was chuckling until I saw the community. But then, you really couldn’t make this up.
It’s too on-the-nose to be satire
For women service members too?
Women will be phased out of the military. Men only.
Manly, high T men.
Strong, manly, sexy — uhhh…
Now I want to join the military, so Hegseth can suck my dick every year.
hesgeth and RFK jr is sure obssessed with mens testosterone, they likely inspect it to see.
My man raise your standards.
You can do better.
Who needs a functioning endocrine system anyways?
That shits overrated. Give our special little boys all the gear.
