“Women on base, you better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out.”
Need to dig through my lemmy comments to find the guy I argued with a billion years ago who claimed providing HRT to trans soldiers was too expensive/complicated.
I can think of a couple people more deserving of sliding down a chute full of broken glass into a pond stocked with piranhas but only a couple.
When I was on methadone, it made my testosterone levels plummet - my already low sex drive (I feel like masturbating sometimes) went to 0 (I no longer feel like masturbating ever), and i got Bob’s bitch tits.
They gave me delatestryl injections. Testosterone, steroids. My arm muscles got really big, I could suddenly do 20 pullups without even feeling winded after, and Fuzzy Bunny noticed strange black hairs growing where there were no hairs before. And I felt like masturbating again.
That’s it. 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.
I’m wondering what the impact would be on men who receive the extra T without really needing it.
Go bald(er), grow more hair in places than you had before, have a short temper, gain muscle without trying too hard.
Impotence when you come off it, and infertility, possibly permanent.
I have known non-steroid using body builders who take testosterone uptake blockers. It basically forces it to remain in your blood longer than it should so that the level builds up. Some of them had some real anger issues while on it.

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.

Okay, well then when I quit methadone, my testosterone levels did the opposite, and went off the scale of their chart. I don’t recall exactly what units they were measuring, but I think the max for their range was 35, and I was at 38.
Still no change in manliness.
I’m not the one who downvoted you, and I wouldn’t because you know your own body best. But that one single number really isn’t the measure you think it is, even when it is “off the chart” as in your case.
All you’re really telling me is that quitting methadone 👍 resulted in profound changes to your body chemistry, of which testosterone was only one.
Testosterone doesn’t work alone, but as one of a handful of different substances that act in concert to produce what you refer to as “manliness.” For all you know you were also zinc or B6 deficient, or fat, or you drifted into a diabetic state or were low on precursor hormones, or any number of other things. It’s not just testosterone, and definitely not testosterone as a lab value with no other considerations taken into account.
Which is exactly why Kegsbreath is a fool, and why one hormone out of many should NOT be replaced based on numbers alone.
This is on X, I won’t go to that cancer place
Same. Use xcancel or take a screenshot. Don’t directly link that Nazi pedo site here.
Can somebody explain wgat testostrone efficiency is my mind is boggled
Jesus Christ.
These guys never heard of him
I guess raping civilian women in countries the US invades isn’t enough. Or maybe their skin is just a little too dark.
Kegsbreath style gender affirming care.
The Pedo Party is currently scheming to get women out of sports so getting women out of the military is probably also on the list.
Just fuck off already. We are so tired of this bullshit…
Tbf no one should be serving and possibly dying as dogs of the pedo-zio empire anyway
but the misogynistic undertone is bullshit obviously
Have you heard the story about how Jesse Waters pursued his future wife (14 years younger than him)?
https://www.thelist.com/1724042/fox-news-jesse-watters-wife-emma-messy-relationship-timeline/
By Jesse’s admission, their love story dates back to when she worked with him as his associate producer. “When I was trying to get Emma to date me, the first thing I did was let the air out of her tires. She couldn’t go anywhere; she needed a lift. I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in,” he shared with his co-hosts on “The Five” while grinning. If the commentator’s story about how he “met” his wife has you creeped out, you’d be shocked to realize the actual story is much worse. Jesse Watters conveniently omitted the fact that he was married at the time he began pursuing Emma, who was 14 years younger

High testosterone levels (I can only assume they’re not considering anything less than the maximum end of normal to be “healthy”) converts to estrogen because it’s more chemically stable. What is a normal level of testosterone varies from person to person; someone may feel fine at 400 ng/dL and someone else may feel like death at that level. And the person that feels fine at 400 may feel like shit at 1000, especially with the potential of added estrogen from high T. Hormones are complicated and have all kinds of weird downstream effects! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
I naturally sat at around 1000 ng/dL before transitioning and felt fine. Then was the fun game of trying to suppress that level since my body apparently runs on high t levels. A few years later and the solution was surgically removing everything that can produce testosterone.
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.
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.
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.
May the sex industry workers stay safe and their finances grow fat.

And then they get blindsided with SA allegations and cry the world isn’t fair
This was already a huge source of conflict with letting the US house bases…
Yep. Its why the MPs around some bases will basically beat you and drag your ass back on base if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, because they have so many problems with service members committing crimes off base that its jeopardizing their authorization.
Women in the army are more likely to be murdered by their fellow servicemen than by enemies, too.
That is probably true for men too, since we really aren’t doing anything with the military apart from jerking Trump off.
It really isn’t true for men the same way though
A first-of-its-kind analysis by The Intercept found that in the Army, women are more likely to be killed by their fellow service members than by enemy combatants, in a reversal of the threat soldiers are trained to face. Between 2011 and August 2025, at least 41 women died by homicide in the Army — more than half of them at the hands of other service members or veterans. Using Defense Department manpower data to calculate per capita death rates, The Intercept found that active-duty Army women face a higher risk of homicide than male soldiers, the opposite of national and global trends.
In many cases, women in the Army are killed by current or former romantic partners. Over 70 percent of victims had an intimate relationship with the perpetrator at one point, and the rate of homicides among women soldiers from intimate partner violence is at least three times higher than the national average.
