Isn’t this Gender affirming care? /s
the military already covered care for testosterone deficiency as part of its free healthcare
That’s socialism!?!
Standing in line to eat the same food, giving your all to protect/help your comrades when they are vulnerable and can’t fight for themselves, uniforms, sacrificing your individuality for the greater good.
Every Army ever is communism.
The US military is the most socialist organization in that country.
usually it involves symptoms of those deficiencies though.
The defense department plans to offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to any service members who show low levels of the hormone.
Is the /s necessary?
The serious response I have is that the end-goal matters. It doesn’t seem like screening for a medical condition that involves hormones is automatically gender-affirming.
No, no. Just announcing the policy makes Pete feel more like a man’s manly man.
Screening? No not really; but they’re giving TRT to soldiers who aren’t at their peak.
So it’s gender-affirming care.

Completely unsarcastically, yes. So are the “Full Mast Men’s Mega Growth XXL Hormone Treatment” ads you see everywhere
HRT is fundamental enough to just be considered healthcare - lots of people do it to address real symptoms, regardless of their gender identity.
I honestly have trouble complaining about this. Screening is voluntary and they are offering treatment as well.
I know Kegsbreath will only approve it because GRAH! ALPHA MALE! but I’ll consider it a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.
There’s a straightforward explanation for this.
Pete Hegseth is a fucking idiot.
My opinion is it’s gayforward projection.
he does have a glamour room all to himself.
I think this is an attempt to further justify eliminating senior military that oppose unlawful orders. You make less T as you age. Plenty of 30 year old, lead brained, country bumpkin dumbfuck MAGAts in entry level officer positions they can randomly make generals.
You can’t just use the same explanation for everything.
When it stops working as an explanation for his behavior then we can switch to his drinking problem
I am getting “low T energy” from this guy
Why are they so enormously homoerotic? If you want to suck a dick, go for it. Grindr is a thing.
So either get railed or fuck your bottoms until they are in heaven.
But god fucking damn it, stop screwing with the world.
Oh, they know very intimately how to use Grindr… they’re just awful people
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a new Pentagon initiative mandating annual testosterone screenings for all military service members aged 30 and older to maintain a “tactical advantage.” Troops who test low will be offered voluntary testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), a move the Pentagon chief framed as keeping the military on the “leading edge of lethality” while nicknaming the Pentagon “The High-T Department of War.”
A 30 year old service member has over a decade of experience. This is orders of magnitude more valuable and important than whatever pseudo science bullshit this alcohol-brained dumbass is pushing there.
I’m guessing a 30 year old service member is far less likely to be in an active combat role (special forces aside) and more likely to be doing administration, leadership, teaching, logistics, etc.
You know, roles where keeping a cool head is especially important.
I thought TRT messes up your body’s ability to produce testosterone naturally. Not good.
Testosterone production drops quite significantly over time. We generally accept hormonal therapy for women often for a majority of their life; it’s not necessarily something to condemn. However, it’s not really well developed (shots every few weeks makes the testosterone level ridiculously high for a while and then drop to pretty low levels as the date for the next dose approaches) and there’s a really good chance they’ll overprescribe on the “manly drugs”. There’s a good number of side effects, including being a dumb-dumb, as Pete demonstrated.
Exogenous testosterone does (often permanently) drop natural production. If they’re signing up for a lifetime of free TRT, it’s probably not really a concern. I somehow doubt that they will, and suspect that the low T is “not service related as there was a demonstrable low T level 10 years ago.”
Troops who test low will be offered voluntary testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
So… Hrt?
This is becoming so absurd. I’m starting to suspect that they are all hard core undercover communists, trying to make the revolution happen by doing the dumbest possible thing while pretending to be republicans.
I call that the ole Faux Nicholas & Wilhelm Gambit .
I’ve learned recently that I’m low-T and have had indicative symptoms all my life, and it may even have factored into my major depression.
And though my endocrinologist recommends replacement therapy, I’m genuinely afraid I’ll turn into Pete Hegseth.
Before you get your next tattoo, just double check that it’s not more than “just a cool looking skull”.
it can cause low libido too, if they reccommended its a valid reason to take it.
I’m mid to high T male. Was struggling with depression for 3 years, I’m balding ugly, and though my beard is thick, it’s highly uneven.
I was chuckling until I saw the community. But then, you really couldn’t make this up.
It’s too on-the-nose to be satire
For women service members too?
Women will be phased out of the military. Men only.
Manly, high T men.
Strong, manly, sexy — uhhh…Stupid sexy Flanders.
Who needs a functioning endocrine system anyways?
That shits overrated. Give our special little boys all the gear.
Imagine paying your tax for that.
Another grift. Of course they’re gonna partner with a specific pharma company.
Now I want to join the military, so Hegseth can suck my dick every year.
My man raise your standards.
hesgeth and RFK jr is sure obssessed with mens testosterone, they likely inspect it to see.
Huh, I figured he’d just mandate every male to receive additional testicle implants every 5 or 10 years.
“Hey sarn’t, how many balls in are you now?”
“7 balls, Private. That’s why I keep my trigger finger taped down all the time we’re not weapons free.”
