Lmfao, they're going to force gender affirming care on service members? Pete Hegseth is the dumbest motherfucker to live.

You know I was reading this and realized they never said only service members who are male presenting are affected. In fact they seem to keep saying only those above 30 will be required to test, with under 30s being able but not mandatory. So unless they are removing all women from service (would not put it past this administration) or its testosterone for all.

Why not both? Implement the testosterone check, kick out all the women for testosterone deficiency?

I agree with the idea of this point of view, pointing out the whole "gender affirming care for me, not for thee" hypocrisy. But, it covers what is a complete horror, with a tagline that minimizes what's currently happening. This is so much worse than simple hypocrisy.

The military is going to forcefully inject soldiers with steroids to make them stronger, angrier, and more aggressive. This is a fascist nazi's wet dream. This is a fucking end-days horror.

More boners and fewer women. Hows that going to work for ya pete? Considering he’s a homophobe.

"Long-Term (Chronic): Long-term heavy drinking (generally defined as 15 or more drinks per week for men) can lower baseline testosterone levels by 20% to 50%."

He's one of the most fragile, small-minded men I've ever had the displeasure of knowing about.

Such a fragile, insecure little guy.

What a bleeding wanker.

Wonder if he thinks that is due to low testosterone?
