It's that... Gender affirming care?
It's closer to gender and health wrecker do it's probably in line with Trump policy, except that it reduces fertility
Man you Americans really are dumb as shit to vote for this in november.
For the third time! There is like a 90% chance.
We like our fads
He's a complete moron that wants to run the military like he is in a cheap 80s B-Movie
Is this science news? I'm not asking to be nice. News from USA is such a shitfest, and it sucks when it spreads.
Pete wants rock hard cocks from sea to shining sea. Glistening, veiny, throbbing, and FULLY erect. Give Pete bricked up dicks, or give him death. It's super fucking hetero, godammit. He's totally into tits and pussy, but he wants those giant, stiff peckers at full fucking mast. AMERICA.
This reads like an emojipasta without the emojis.
What the hell does testosterone have to do with anything? It's a hormone, just like any other in the human body. Both men and women produce it. It needs to stay within a healthy range for the body to function properly. Too much is harmful, just as too little is.
MORE MANLY MAN MEN
Hegseth is one of those guys who has to work his fetishes into everything.
crime ring full of mental basket cases.
nothing will put fear in your enemies like declaring your army needs more testosterone...
It just means that Hegseth really likes hanging out with manlier men...For reasons.
Clearly these men have convinced themselves that they aren't manly enough, whatever the fuck that means to these losers. Conservatives love inventing things to be scared about just throw it on the pile...

Funny how they're suddenly fine with gender-affirming care ...
Quoting myself so I don’t have to keep rewriting it:
This isn’t gender affirming care, it’s gender coercive care. Forcing people without symptoms to get a test for low testosterone is clearly pressuring people to “fix” their T levels, regardless of whether that makes sense for them. If it was about health they’d let their doctors address it on an as needed basis.
Are they gonna have a random piss test for it or can a soldier just pop a Total-T the day before their annual eval and pass with flying colors?
conversion therapy but they're converting people into himbos
Himbos are lovable. They're converting them into blind rage machines like themselves
Yeah, it's that thing that conservative media and politicians have been lying about. Saying that children go to school one gender and are forced to change their gender. So that's a lie. It never happened. But now, conservatives are doing the exact thing that they were so concerned about before.
What is it that they say, every accusation is a confession?
An over-fixation on "manliness" and "heroism" in the military is also standard fascism playbook. Everyone's made up to be a hero for their country, no matter if true or not. This sort of propaganda-fueled glorification of soldiers and war maybe helps recruitment of future soldiers for whatever future war the fascists are going to start. That's probably the only upside.
It also lets you shout down any criticism with "that man is a HERO how DARE you accuse him of anything"
Just wait. In another 10 years (if we're still around by then), the VA will be ignoring a ton of testicular cancer cases in veterans.
I don't give them a year before ranks are determined by balls size and weigh.
Exogenous testosterone usually leads to balls shrinking.
There are going to be excruciating decisions for military personel in the years to come...
In 4 months they'll be indiscriminately issuing amphetamine stims to service members. I mean, it worked for the SS. Probably. At least for a little while. Actually, I have no idea, but it seems like something Keitel and Goering would be all about to claim they had a chemical edge over all the subhumans occupying their lebensraum.

What this is, is another ridiculous ploy by Beta-cuck Hegseth to have homo-erotic fantasies about his big burly, tough macho men in tight uniforms.
Just get drunk again, Pete, and come out already!

High testosterone in men is associated with male pattern baldness and low sperm count, among other conditions. Not sure why he'd want that, but ok.
It's because all the men he stares at in the gym tell him they're taking it. /edit: sentence structure

The troops are not hot and sexy enough for King Don. He wants troops like in Starship Troopers, except maybe a few years younger.

The same "germs aren't real" Hegseth who caused a flu outbreak on a military base by reversing the vaccination mandate for service members.

They have 2 reasons to do this:
- To drug the soldiers.
- To put the blame of failure on individuals.
The purpose is to have an army of cannon fodder when they take on NATO and to push through the inevitable failure when doing so.
Testosterone can lead to less impulse control, bad idea for people with guns.
Good idea for a country that specifically trained those people and gave them guns so that they'll shoot people without thinking too hard about it. They'll want it for the police soon, too.
