I call that the ole Faux Nicholas & Wilhelm Gambit .

I can't prove you wrong, so I have decided that this is what really happened.

The military, at least the Marine Corps, was the gayest place I've ever been. Homoeroticism runs rampant.

That being said, testing for low T is a big what we to me. I'd say that falls under medical care, and they're providing it, so good.

Oh, they know very intimately how to use Grindr... they're just awful people

Idk how they make men feel but nothing good.

They make us feel bad about ourselves. That's why they work. They're selling the "fix". It's the same playbook marketing people have been using against women since the beginning of advertising.

I always find it funny the reactions of men who seek hair loss treatment with a real medical service and learn that they're most likely going bald because genetically they have way too much testosterone.

Double funnies when conservatives have to face the fact that the treatment for their bald head is hormone therapy and the irony of taking hormone blockers for gender affirming therapy never crosses their mind..

As a men, I love your answer. I would upvote it 100 times if I could.

The society is always pushing the ideal of men that is bold, strong, independent, commandeering, never showing weakness. It creates a culture of toxic masculinity and deep insecurities that must be kept hidden, otherwise you are admitting to being weak and thus a lesser man. IMHO it' also a big contributor to the loneliness epidemic and incels existing.

As you said, it's similar to the problem of the completely unrealistic woman bodies shown in advertisement. It's unreachable by definition.

If you are a man, be kind, be open to others and be vulnerable. You are enough as you are, you'll live more happily if you stop chasing whatever others call "perfection", and start living your life as yourself. You are the strong one for fighting against those deeply unhealthy ideals, instead of succumbing to it.

I really support femnism too: the right of being treated as a valid person, equal to everyone else, should apply to all. Men and women alike.

Happily married man here. Those commercials are silly, but they're so constant that they get annoying. But someome must be giving them money if they are buying tv ads.

Low status males have more testosterone.

Getting some strong Andrew Tate's vibes here

HRT is fundamental enough to just be considered healthcare - lots of people do it to address real symptoms, regardless of their gender identity.

I honestly have trouble complaining about this. Screening is voluntary and they are offering treatment as well.

I know Kegsbreath will only approve it because GRAH! ALPHA MALE! but I’ll consider it a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.

The defense department plans to offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to any service members who show low levels of the hormone.

Is the /s necessary?

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.

the military already covered care for testosterone deficiency as part of its free healthcare

My opinion is it’s gayforward projection.

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.

Before you get your next tattoo, just double check that it’s not more than “just a cool looking skull”.

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 thought TRT messes up your body's ability to produce testosterone naturally. Not good.

Women will be phased out of the military. Men only.
Manly, high T men.
Strong, manly, sexy — uhhh...
