can they get testosterone treatment or are they banning hrt and gender affirming care?
I see plenty of gender affirming care when I drive. There are big trucks everywhere
That’s what so ridiculous about the trans debate, people are gonna get mad I’m wearing a dress when there are people out there tearing it up in giant trucks, revving motorcycles you can hear from MILES away, and I’m the problem? grow up, really
I’m a cis dude who wears long skirts in the summer. Those people can eat a dick.
Awesome <3 they are so comfortable, for sure haha

I was diagnosed with low testosterone a few years back. I told my doctor that I had no interest in having pimples and chasing girls when I was well into my 50s. Always had man boobs anyhow.
HRT and gender affirming care is only being banned from trans people not cis. Cis kids are allowed to go on puberty blockers and trans kids are not for example.
that was my point
Nope. Most of those bans are blanket bans. They’re banning contraceptives and other birth control methods from state to state. This is targeting Trans kids, but it doesn’t require a child to identify trans, it just straight up bans it.
Because their base doesn’t know the difference between a 13 yo trans kid, and a 13 yo cis kid with a hormonal imbalance.
in the article, likely Obesity and air pollution. Solution? (mine) banning cars adding bicycles and walkable cities. We’ll not do that so
butthole stunning, ball and vagian maxxing it is /s
Walking and biking? That’s gay and DEI
I contribute a lot to that!
It’s fine, we don’t need it, stop identifying yourself or defining your manhood based on a chemical.
Forget manhood or being a man. Testosterone has more effects than making people angry or horny. It can influence general mood, energy levels, weight and muscle control, and that’s just the stuff off the top of my head. Women have, and need, some levels of testosterone, and men need some levels of estrogen. End point, we do in fact need testosterone.
Men have estrogen?
We have some. We don’t need double.
Do you have any sort of medical training that would qualify you to say that?
Do you?
I’m not the one giving out information, positioning myself as a source worthy of being listened to, but since you asked, yes. Do you understand the Socratic method? It should be assumed I’m a layman, if the other user has some sort of training or experience I’m certainly open to any information they might have.
What medical training do you have?
Extensive, I wonder how much the other poster has. I bet not enough or they wouldn’t say dumb shit like “you have enough you don’t need more” without running some blood tests, or at least giving a window of normal levels.
What about you? What’s your medical background?
Again, fucking stupid…
why don’t we need it?
Strange. Does this affect the flavor?
more tender now
Considering testosterone’s affect on aggression it might be a good thing to take it down a notch.
There is no proven connection between testosterone and aggression (assuming you weren’t just making a joke, of course); https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0018506X19304519, https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthy-aging-and-longevity/testosterone--what-it-does-and-doesnt-do, https://www.numan.com/low-testosterone/symptoms/is-there-a-link-between-testosterone-and-aggression.
Something I found interesting from https://www.hims.com/blog/does-testosterone-make-you-angry (but didn’t really want to list as a source given it’s from an inherently biased company; though, to be fair, it cites all its sources for the info. listed therein) was
Sometimes, testosterone’s reputation may function as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In one study, men who believed they had received testosterone became angrier and more aggressive during a task — even if they’d only received a placebo. Their expectations about how testosterone “should” make them feel seemed to drive their reactions more so than the hormone itself.
A similar experiment with women found the same result, but in reverse. Those who actually received testosterone (but weren’t told so) behaved more fairly and cooperatively in a bargaining game, while those who merely believed they had taken it (but had not) acted more selfishly and aggressive.
But most of that is people named Kyle
Is this because men are living longer?
So the greys are us then?
