You actually have a sane doctor that isn't a shill, then. It happens. Be very thankful. I had a shill-doctor that almost got me killed over another issue.

It doesn't, really. Trans men are likely to be getting actual health care with regards to their T treatments and not a bunch of woo-woo overmarketed BS.

Hey there, I'm running an herb blog elsewhere over on Kinja. Do you think any of your marketing experiences might touch on the "herbal testosterone boost" BS? A lot of what I want the blog to cover is pseudoscience so that we can all focus on what supplements can actually do for someone, and a lot of my favourite…

The article is about how testosterone is being used to shill a false sense of masculinity to men vulnerable to falling for a false sense of masculinity. That is the topic. The topic is not about Testosterone itself.

It's responsible for a lot of the sex drive mechanisms in both men and women, so that would be why. Hormones and their mechanisms are not as black and white as the patriarchy tries to prop them up to be.

So basically, what you're saying is that when you took better care of your health, your natural testosterone production started to become normal?

Whoah! What region do you live in, if you don't mind me asking? Where I live compounding pharmacies start at $40 just for the services before the costs of any of the materials!

You'd be surprised. Your T is actually being used (I hope) intelligently and responsibly and for targeted effects. Meanwhile, T sold to men is often sold to shill off a laundry list of benefits is usually used to do so in order to pander to false, sexist, patriarchal notions of manhood. When that serves as the basis…

Gotta chime in with a bit of an addendum here:

Remember, something doesn't really act as a disorder until it causes someone some kind of distress or dysfunction. In my case, being trans wasn't really particularly distressing until later. I would have not qualified as having a condition until now, where I experience distress due to having to not only confront more…

Thank you for at least trying and making an effort. I suspect you'll get there, and that helps a ton.

...Then we'll see an explosion of BS "Why back in my day, there weren't (read: "I didn't see") that many transgender people!!" arguments. Mark my words.

Tell the nerds over in the labs to develop a version involving beef of this that I can use!

You know, you use this gif, and yet I've noticed a distinct number of your stories happen to be the reason I would deploy it.

...But you're in Canada. Land of actually having some ethics.

I'm pretty sure its Fahey. GO GET HIM.

Wouldn't it be great if life were more like that?

As someone who digs tofu and edamame, these tofu nuggets sound yummy.

South Carolina!

Exactly! Thank you!!
