As a straight guy, I can’t disagree.

When I came out as gay 8 years ago to my mom she promised me I would never have happy and fulfilling marriage. Knowing my mom mostly knows only straight men, I can 100% confirm she is right if I was picking from her pool.

While I am not going to disagree about your conclusion, I am going to say that lumping this psychopathic rapist in with the average straight man is just about as inaccurate as claiming that he is an average American, or average human.

It's not doing us any favors when they're creating government policies specifically to push the boulder downhill even faster.

This shook out so many "not all men" comments lol

My girlfriend is 39 years old, she keeps telling me that she never felt so good around a men he whole life when she's with me. I keep thinking how sad that is, but at the same time, i don't like being around men either. I like my friends, but at work, as soon as some guy i don't know talks a bunch, i keep wondering at what point is he gonna say something disgusti... Ah there it is. I'm not perfect by any means, but even when i was around 16 and started working, and geard these gross comments from my co workers, i kept thinking: i can't wait unti i'm an adult and don't find these comments gross as fuck. Apparently i never became a real man.

I don’t even bother dating.

From your lips to the universe's ears <3

Which is why doctors don't just randomly do testosterone tests on men who don't report any problems. If your behavior and health is normal, your T is fine. That is the baseline for any individual human.

I had breasts pre-transition because my body naturally produces very high levels of T. Excessive T is also converted into DHT, unfortunately, which made me stop growing at a younger age and gave me really bad acne. At least my hair never fell out.

Truth. And it's worse for young guys who do it, because if they end up getting unnecessary exogenous testosterone, it can and often does have a negative effect on libido, performance, and fertility long before age or other conditions manage those downward for them.

Testes that are making enough testosterone for that person to live comfortably should be left alone to do so, because like the adrenals when you fuck with steroids, if testes get testosterone in excess they lay back and think, "Job done," and then that's the last you hear from them.

I'm not even joking. That looksmaxxer fool is a poster boy for what can happen when you take testosterone and don't need it: he's barely out of his teens and apparently infertile. He may well be impotent too, though I doubt he's bragging about that part of it.

EDITED TO ADD that it took them a day but now the doctors themselves are coming out of the woodwork to call bullshit (emphasis mine):

Five of six men’s health experts contacted by ⁠Reuters for this story said they were puzzled by the announcement on testosterone testing and concerned it may lead to unnecessary – or even harmful – treatment.

“We hear from patients that ​when you treat low T, things like cognitive alertness and stamina improve. But the evidence is not concrete, and it ‌comes from patients who were treated because they were symptomatic,” said ‌Dr Kevin McVary, a urologist on the medical advisory board of Rugiet, a telehealth platform that provides testosterone supplements.

“Many in our armed forces are young men who are not done having their families,” McVary said. “If you just dole out the testosterone, the testes will shrink. And you can’t reliably count on them coming back.” Other risks include blood thickening, prostate issues, acne, hair loss, breast tissue growth and mood volatility.

I mean, what else could you expect from scum like these people?

Yeah, he let the air out of his current wife's tires in order to "rescue" her.

I call out these people because beliefs like this should be publicly shamed.

These guys never heard of him

I didn’t become this rabid horn dog willing to go up to women and ask them out. I didn’t really get any extra confidence at all, just physical stamina. There was no change in my perceived “manliness”, and most of these types would have probably still called me a wuss while I was on the steroids.

That's because you were clearly not making enough of these hormones on your own, so much so that you were already symptomatic. The testosterone (and presumably the steroids as well) you were given just raised you back up to normal levels.

Kegsbreath's talking about offering it based on numbers alone, and it just doesn't work like that. Numbers are only one part of the diagnostic considerations. If you take extra testosterone regardless of what the numbers say and you don't actually need it to bring you to a place of normal functioning, you can damage your hormonal production permanently.
