More than one person has told me that this isn't a "trans issue" and that women with high testosterone should have to compete in men's sports.
But when I suggest that means that men with hypogonadism should have to compete in women's sports, they don't like the suggestion.
I mean, if we're going to do something so inane as deciphering logic from anything said by Joe Rogaine we can at least be accurate about it.
Conditional statements aren't inherently bidirectional. Just because the rains in Spain falls mainly on the plain, doesn't mean that you're in a plain biome whenever it's raining. Similarly, just because some idiot believes high testosterone in women mAkeS ThEm MaLe doesn't necessarily mean that low testosterone in men makes them women. It says nothing about men at all. A lesson I wish Conservatives would take to heart about women too.
Adding to that, it's not even low testosterone when you're taking artificial testosterone. People who need that just have low production, but in the end it's the same when replacing it like that.
Who is Joe Rogan?
Ligma balls.
There's no need to make it complicated. Joe Rogan is a bag of shit pretending to be a human.
Whoa whoa whoa, no need to insult bags of shit my friend
bags of shit can at least be used as fertilizer.
He's more like... the carcass of a fly that's been in the back window of a car for over a year so it's all dried out and getting sun bleached. Useless, kinda gross, and needs to be thrown out.
"If you can't get a girlfriend, be the girlfriend."
Checks out
Is that what I am? A low T male? I've never been competitive, I don't work out, I don't try to be cool, I surround myself with cats, and I'm pretty good at decorating. Shit, I've been joking with my wife for years (in regards to the decorating) that I was probably supposed to be gay but it didn't quite pan out. Turns out I'm just Low T. But I'm also a good father, I own a set of tools, I eat a lot of turkey sandwiches (high tryptophan), I can change a tire, and I take care of the house and the yard. Does that offset the Low T? Or is it like.. you're born with Low T, you die with Low T?
Where my LTs at?
T levels don't matter in my book, unless it's affecting your health.
You sound like a normal dude to me. Just because you don't gargle monster energy drinks after you brush your teeth doesn't mean you're not manly. It means you don't subscribe to societal norms (expectations). You sound confident with who you are and that is more masculine than having a jacked up HD 3500 chev, and treating people like they are scum
I have low T and get shots for it.
It has a noticeable impact on my mental wellbeing and motivation. Also helps with going to the gym. I sleep much better before it wears off (about 2 weeks between injections) which is just a great improvement to quality of life.
I have no idea if I'm actually low T or not. My hair fell out at 19 and I have a beard and a hairy back.. But I don't feel like a lot of other dudes whatsoever. This thread has been really humble, though.
If you're looking for LTs, they're mostly in GM cars and trucks, however they're highly popular engines to swap into other models. Hope this helps!
Given the volume of back hair I'm dealing with, I could use a little less T.
Oh, I have lots of that.
It's like you just described me but instead of decorating I do most of the cooking. Low T males unite, there are probably dozens of us
I don't think that means either of you have hormonal imbalances, I think you're just good dudes.
Hbomberguy did a testosterone test after repeatedly being called a 'soyboy' and his testosterone was actually higher than average. It's just a chemical the body uses to turn on certain genes, it's not 'manly personality juice'.
Theres guys on TRT to correct clinically low testosterone.
Theres guys on TRT because keeping your levels high and consistent (especially as you age) is going to do a great deal to keep you in fantastic shape.
And then theres guys who are on "TRT" to boost themselves significantly above natural levels while pumping themselves full of additional anabolics.
"TRT" is not all the same across people on it.
I want some TRT
As in TReaTs
“Gender affirming care” jokes directed at bigots will never not be funny.
Intersex people offer quite the conundrum for conservatives, who use "there's only two genders" as a purity test:
Either someone with a Y chromosome is a woman, or there are men that are capable of giving birth
Bigots aren't bothered by having inconsistent beliefs. They start at the conclusion "in group: good. Out group: bad." And will generate whatever argument they need to on the fly to keep that true.
If you really get under the hood on what this type of person believe, you get some truly wild theories about Intersex people.
Everything from outright denialism to eugenics to mystical "this person must have been cursed by an evil witch" presumptions.
However you slice it, though, Intersex people are even more viciously dehumanized than your run of the mill LGBTQ.
ITS NOT A TUMAH
Additionally, I would as you all to just try not watching a single Joe Rogan video on YouTube. It is close to impossible. Every few videos is a Joe Rogan video. That was the last straw for me. I flat out only use YouTube for mindless browsing to make me sleep.
Huh, I don't think I've ever seen Joe Rogan's content suggested for me.
Have never seen him recommended, or any right wing videos, tbh.
Nah. I get a lot of that lifter bro chad and his scarfing of chocolate cake bit, though. I think he's peddling a carb cycle plan, but I don't watch that far. Now it's prefaced by some old dude, but I've begun to recognize that crap too.
I have never watched a single Joe Rogan video
You can block his channels but people re upload his shit constantly.
If YouTube thinks your male I would wager you can't swipe 20 times and not end up in a Rogan hole.
This kills me because I like stand up comedy but I think Joe Rogan is not funny.
The only good gender affirming healthcare is my gender affirming healthcare.
It's almost as if it never mattered at all... At all... At all...
Makes sense to me. 🤷🏻
He sucks.
