“This is a great big fat ‘Oh, no,’” Anawalt said in reaction to Hegseth’s announcement. “We’re turning the clock back on rational healthcare. … I’m worried about the ethics. I’m worried about the health consequences. I’m worried about unnecessary evaluations, incorrect assessments, and incorrect diagnoses that lead to inappropriate prescriptions of testosterone.”
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.
nothing will put fear in your enemies like declaring your army needs more testosterone…
I am suddenly reminded of The Longest Yard movie where they gave the guards a bunch of estrogen.
What would estrogen do to a cis male I wonder.
Same thing it does to a trans woman.
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…
Have you seen kegsbreath exercise? It’s legendary! It’s absolutely the reason he wants more military men to get loaded up on the T, so they can be just like him.
Nope. Can’t stand looking at him. I’m immediately hit with the smell of cheap whiskey and drakkar noir. Eugh
It just means that Hegseth really likes hanging out with manlier men…For reasons.
mandatory penis inspections & taste tests are next
Wait, are you telling me the urinalysis guy wasn’t supposed to do that?
he was, but only if he took you out for a nice dinner first
It wasn’t exactly frowned upon
Nothing like giving your soldiers an insecurity that they’re not manly enough and that they have to take a prescription for it.
I’m sure that won’t have any psychological consequences on the battlefield.
yea.
the fucking stupidity and incompetence of everyone he appoints is mind boggling
there will be more suicides, and no one will do anything about it
And it’d be the most tantalizing target in the supply line, like the Jem Hadar’s “Ketracel White” (from ST:DS9). But why bother? I’ve had numerous Endocrinologists say no to me because they were of the opinion, it’d make my ball shrink.
Taking them out will be so easy. Just get darts for those massive balls, and play Bloons Tower Defense in real life.
crime ring full of mental basket cases.
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.
The troops are not hot and sexy enough for King Don. He wants troops like in Starship Troopers, except maybe a few years younger.
child soldiers it is!
Trump did his part (the children, not the actual service)
Testosterone can lead to less impulse control, bad idea for people with guns.
Good idea for a country that specifically gave those people guns and trained them to shoot people without thinking too hard about it. They’ll want it for the police soon, too.
American as gun play and police shootings.
True, but they’re not trying to win wars, they’re trying to look powerful in the eyes of their voters, who definitely think aggressive roided-out soldiers with itchy trigger fingers are powerful.
That’s not really how it works in the military. They don’t just let you shoot things indiscriminately like they do in the police force.
They don’t just let you shoot things indiscriminately
Not yet.
Or in a hospital or daycare or grocery store
Again, I was not talking about police. Not even talking about like… The National Guard.
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.
Well you see with these chuds it’s always the womans fault, shes barren
It’s because all the men he stares at in the gym tell him they’re taking it. /edit: sentence structure
Hegseth is one of those guys who has to work his fetishes into everything.
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
Is this science news? I’m not asking to be nice. News from USA is such a shitfest, and it sucks when it spreads.
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.
conversion therapy but they’re converting people into himbos
Himbos are lovable. They’re converting them in blind range 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?
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?
Man you Americans really are dumb as shit to vote for this in november.
For the third time! There is like a 90% chance.
I don’t give them a year before ranks are determined by balls size and weigh.
Closeted tanuki furries are destined to obtain the highest of ranks.
Damn bro
Exogenous testosterone usually leads to balls shrinking.
There are going to be excruciating decisions for military personel in the years to come…
High T low morals military
Ah yes, I served in the bacne and rage unit.
They’re not expecting anybody to live long enough to be able to say that.
