Interesting timing considering the recent AUA study that 55% of people treated with testosterone are done so inappropriately. https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2026/p...

Also will bring on a ton of sketchy testosterone supplements to "optimize" the troops.

Typical behavior of a beta. Real men don’t care … while they are sipping their Appletini
